I want to make the muffins, I have made them before and added some craisins. Now I want to make some banana muffins with my very ripe bananas but I dont know how many to add so I dont add too much and make it too soft but yet get a good flavor out of it. 1/2 cup? 1 cup?

Thanks :)

I personally would start with 1/2 c of mashed banana and see how that goes.

I made orange muffins for Easter last year with the Namaste Muffin Mix, I just prepared the mix as usual only I substituted orange juice for 1/2 c. of the water (1/2 c. orange juice + remainder of water directions call for), and then I mixed in 1/2 c. orange marmalade and a little bit of orange zest.

I also made orange butter to serve with the muffins, cream together 1 stick room temp butter, 1/4 c. sweet orange marmalade, 2 tbsp orange juice, 1 tsp honey. Transfer to a sm serving bowl with a butter knife and serve alongside the muffins.

I just found this mix at my store. I made them with chocolate chips and some cinnamon sugar on top. They were good, but it seemed like without my mix-ins they would be more biscuit-like....I couldn't tell how sweet they would be without the chocolate.

Has anyone used these as a "sandwich" biscuit instead of a muffin? I might actually use that for lunches at work, but I don't want to waste the expense if they won't work for a sandwich and will be too bland for a muffin......

While I'm at it....Any other mix-in suggestions for days when I want something a little sweeter?

I know this is getting off topic a bit-- but I have tried the Namaste muffin mix and didn't find it to be that great (although I love their spice cake and chocolate cake mixes)- I think it is really bland and a bit grainy on it's own. I've tried adding fruit juice instead of water, adding fruit, cinnamon, sugar topping, etc. and still find it to be bland.

I think the Gluten Free Pantry muffin mix is much better! You might want to try that one if you haven't already. I usually mix in a diced up apple, a couple handfulls of raisins and some cinnamon and they are delish! They freeze well to.

amybeth- I bet they would be good and quite fluffy. We used to buy whole foods cream biscuits but we dont eat dairy anymore, this might be a good alternative. They also have a sugar free kind but I always usee the one with sugar in it.

Marcia- I actually like the namaste mix but I also like it since it doesnt use dairy, corn or soy. I have intolerances to all of them so with the chance of soy in the gluten free pantry wouldnt be worth it for me or with the corn in it. But thanks :)

Their spice cake with raisins and carrots is wonderful :D That is addicting for me!

I haven't tried the Namaste Muffin Mix just plain, I like to take a mix and add things to it to spice it up so to speak :lol: , so I am not sure how sweet they are/ or aren't on their own.

If you want to experiment with making them sweeter try adding in jams/jellies or add a spoonful of pie fillings like cherry or apple in the center, canned fruit like peaches or pineapple (just make sure everything is gluten-free of course), mashed banana, chopped dates. Try adding a little brown sugar and canned pumpkin if you like pumpkin muffins.

Lots of options!

I also get the Namaste products because they are free of so many allergens.

The Spice Cake is so yummy! I added canned pumpkin to the mix in the fall months. I've also added mashed banana.

I want to try adding shredded zucchini to make zuchini muffins and then shredded carrot, coconut, raisins and nuts to do the carrot cake version.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
