• Now,start mixing the dry ingredients in the wet,mix to incorporate in batches.Add milk to make the batter in ribbon consistency.
• Add spoonful of batter in the paper liners until 3/4 th full.Place in  oven and bake for 25 -30 mins or tooth pick inserted comes out clean.

NOTES
* The original recipe calls for agave nectar or honey but I used dark brown sugar.The amount of sugar used in this recipe yields mild sweet muffins so increase as per sweet tooth.
* For making almond meal,refer this link.
* You can add almond milk instead of regular whole milk.
* The original recipe calls for two bananas but I was apprehensive about dominant banana flavors so just reduced to one and increased the milk instead.You can use two but then alter the quantity of milk accordingly.
* The recipe is adapted from here but slightly modified.
* You can top it up with some nuts or rolled oats.
