Soak the basil seeds in 1/4 cup of water for about 10-15 minutes.It will swell up to become a gelatinous mixture Preheat oven to 400 F.
Add the dry ingredients to the processor then the mashed bananas,agave, basil seed mixture and blend well for a couple of minutes. Now add the milk and blend till you get a semi-solid consistency (not too dry or too runny).

Fill 3/4 in each hole of the muffin pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a knife comes out clean when placed in the center of the muffin.

Tips:
1.I toasted 1 cup of red quinoa and powdered it to a flour.
2.You can replace 1 banana with 1 egg or applesauce.
3.You can skip the agave if you want a the muffins to be less sweet.
4.The basil seeds can be replaced with flax seeds.
