Since last year when I found out that I had to limit my eggs, I have been testing different recipes that I have to make them egg free. This is one of them. I also wanted to make these even healthier than they were before.
I don’t know about you but some days it get difficult to have all the meals figured out and ready. One day I will actually start making and following a meal plan. Yes I will share with you when I do.
It seems that when you have food allergies, lunch can be a little more challenging. I some times take sandwiches to work with me. I have a great Basic Bread recipe and Bun recipe. Much of the time I will take leftovers from dinner as well as salads.
I love having muffins and quick breads ready to take. You can make up a batch on a weekend, adding in whatever extras everyone likes. You can then freeze them and take out what you need for the day. They also last very well in a sealed container, on the counter for up to three days.
Healthy Egg Free Banana Muffins (Gluten Free/ Dairy Free/ Vegan/ Refined Sugar Free)

3/4 c. palm sugar (or desired sugar)

1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. extras- chocolate chips, walnuts, sunflower seeds, etc.
