Roasted Garlic and Parmesan Hummus

After looking on Pinterest to find a hummus recipe, and finding the "roasted garlic" version was actually garlic powder, I had to make my own recipe. I adapted this recipe from classycooking.com.

1 large head of garlic, roasted
2 cloves of fresh garlic

1 x 15oz can of chickpeas
3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
3 Tbsp tahini

1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp oil

Coconut Banana Muffins

Another idea from The Green Forks (as were the Spinach Muffins). But I've changed it so much from the original that I'm making my own post. 

1 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup white flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup melted coconut oil
1/2 cup milk, warmed up
1 tsp vanilla

1 cup mashed banana

Combine dry ingredients.

Combine wet ingredients, keeping ingredients warm to keep oil as a liquid. 

Pour wet into dry, stir only enough to combine (about 18 strokes).

Bake at 400 degrees for 18 minutes. 

Makes 12 muffins.

Notes:
I used an immersion blender to mix liquid ingredients because we don't like banana chunks!

Fill muffin cups 3/4 full.
