Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin pan with 12 muffin liners.
Step 2
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the canola oil and agave nectar, mixing on medium speed for about 20 seconds.
Step 3
Add the mashed banana, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and mix for 20 seconds. Add the flax meal and mix until combined, about 10 seconds.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, combine the flour mix, xanthan gum, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix on low until just combined, about 20 seconds.
Step 6
Turn off the mixer and fold in the raisins.
Step 7
Fill the liners to the rim with batter. They will be heaping.
Step 8
Bake in the center of the oven for 25 minutes, or until lovely golden brown on top, rotating the pan halfway through. Transfer the muffins to a cooling rack.
