Peach-Basil Glaze:

Instructions
For the Bites:
- Preheat oven to 350℉.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut sugar, milk, coconut oil, mashed banana and vanilla.
- Then add in the cassava flour and baking powder.
- Gently fold in the diced peaches.
- Drop 1 tablespoon of batter into a greased mini muffin pan and bake for 12 minutes.
For the Peach-Basil Glaze:
- In a small saucepan on medium-high heat, combine the other set of diced peaches, lemon juice, vanilla, coconut sugar and water.
- Let that come to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Place the arrowroot into a small bowl and add just a little bit of water to get the clumps out.
- Then slowly whisk the arrowroot mixture into your peach mixture. You will see it thicken up just a bit.
- Cut your basil into small stripes and toss into the peach mixture.
- Once the muffins are out of the oven and cool enough to take out of the pan, place them on a serving dish and top with the peach basil glaze. Enjoy!
