About The Recipe

Sorghum Banana Muffins is my another try to incorporate Millets in my baking. When you have kids you are always looking for ways to include health friendly nutrients in their diet. Now, you can make muffins/quick breads and cakes with healthy ingredients like whole wheat and even the millet flour. I try to avoid All Purpose Flour in my cooking as it has zero nutritional, sometimes if I add it then it is with combination to other nutritional flour.

These Eggless Jowar muffins are a variation to the Choco chip muffins made with whole wheat flour. I have added Oats flour along with jowar flour Banana add moisture and also act as egg replacer in the recipe along with yogurt.

Jowar Flour in Baking

Jowar or Sorghum flour is nowadays very popular used in Gluten-free baking all across the world. Sorghum or Jowar(it's Indian name) has been used in India since ancient times. The texture of this flour resembles all purpose flour but is multiple times nutritional.

Sorghum flour comes from the cereal Sorghum which comes under Millet category. It is very versatile and can be used conveniently in baking.

Benefits of Sorghum Flour

Jowar Flour is rich in protein, iron and other minerals like calcium, phosphorus. It is packed with numerous health benefits for weight loss, gut health, regulates diabetes, promotes heart health and boasts energy levels. It is a very good alternative to Whole Wheat Flour especially for those with Gluten- allergies.

Ingredients to make Sorghum Banana Muffins/Jowar Muffins

Flour- Along with Jowar flour I have also added oats flour. You can also add whole wheat flour or all purpose flour (if there are no diet restrictions). The texture of the muffins will be a bit different and you may need to add more liquid.

For oats flour, grind rolled oats. Or you can buy a bag of oats flour and use it and keep it for further use in your cooking.

Over ripe Bananas- These not only add moisture but also are great way to use the over ripe fruit. Over ripe bananas are also sweeter and hence a natural source of sugar. Bananas ripe too quickly and most of us don't like eating over rip bananas, a big no no by the kids. Instead of throwing them, use in many recipe like banana bread, muffins and many more.

Egg Replacer and Leavening Agents- Acts as egg replacer and leavening agent when combined with the baking soda and baking powder.

Sweetener-I prefer jaggery powder (As in this recipe) or nay other organic sugar like raw cane sugar. You can use organic coconut palm sugar or even castor sugar.

Other- Vanilla Essence for flavour, Walnuts and Choco chips. Walnuts can be replace with pecans or other nuts like almonds. You can skip chocolate chips, my kids love it in muffins and cakes, so I add these.

For Vegan Friendly Sorghum Muffins and other substitutes

• Use plant based yogurt like cashew or peanut yogurt.
• Substitute Choco chips with dairy free Choco chips or skip it.
• If you have any allergies to walnuts then skip it and add any other nut or skip it.
