How to make almond muffins?

Preheat the oven to 190 degrees. While the oven heats up, mix the dough. Start preparing the “egg”. To do this, mix the ground flax or chia seeds and water together in a small bowl and set aside to steep for five minutes. In a large bowl, mash the banana with the baking powder and bicarbonate of soda and add the flaxseed egg, vanilla, coconut sugar, maple syrup, salt, cinnamon and oil to the banana mixture and mix thoroughly until smooth. Then add the almond milk and the flours and starches. Mix and divide the batter evenly into muffin tins. Sprinkle chopped walnuts on top if desired.

Bake the muffins for 28-35 minutes, until brown on top and a toothpick comes out dry.
