Flourless Pumpkin Banana Muffins
As Summer fades and the cooler weather settles in, we reach for comfort foods that warm the soul. I set out on a mission to find locally sourced organic produce, meat, and fish to create these delicious recipes. I was inspired by local roadside bbq pit masters to new local biodynamically grown produce. I am a fan of all seasons; my favorite is Summer due to the abundance of fresh produce. Not many realize that Fall produce is terrific and provides shelf-stable items that, once canned, can last for years.
First up, the obligatory fan favorite pumpkin! Pumpkin is a versatile food prepared as a savory or sweet dish. Pumpkin-spiced everything can be rather exhausting and funny as so many poke fun at folks who are "pumpkin" freaks as they anticipate Fall at the beginning of August. I love to bake/cook with whole organic baking pumpkins. They come in two specific varieties, sugar pumpkin and the Long Island cheese pumpkin (which looks like a wheel of cheese, color varies). These can be found locally in NJ at most organic farm stands.
