Gluten Free Banana Muffins

Warm, homemade banana muffins are a welcome treat anytime, and these even more special since they're gluten free! Make them for someone you know who deals with gluten intolerance, and make their whole day!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1 cup cane sugar, unrefined ( or regular sugar if desired)
  • 3 teaspoons stevia powder ( or any no calorie sweetener that measures equally like sugar)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons flax seed meal
  • 1 and 1/2 cup mashed banana ( about 3 medium)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 cup brown rice blend ( see my Guide to Gluten Free Flours)
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup millet flour ( you can substitute sorghum flour here)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum

Instructions

  1. Cream coconut oil and sweeteners.
  2. Add eggs, flax seed meal,vanilla, and mashed banana and blend well.
  3. Combine the flours, soda, baking powder, and xanthan gum in a separate bowl. Stir to blend together.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix until just combined. To make tender muffins, don't over-mix.
  5. Spray the desired pans with cooking spray - even if you're using silicone cups I still spray them with a little cooking spray.
  6. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes, depending on the pans you use. Check them by touching the tops lightly - if they spring back, they are done.

Notes

Feel free to add some chocolate chips or some chopped walnuts!

You can experiment a little with the sugars if you'd like - try this recipe with 3/4 cup sugar instead of the full cup, and increase the stevia by another teaspoon. However, I have tested this recipe a lot, and this version is my family's favorite. Check the nutrition label - it's pretty healthy as is 🙂
