Gluten-Free Banana Muffins are moist, soft and made with simple ingredients. The result is full of flavor, and you’ll never guess these muffins are actually GF banana muffins.
Servings: 12 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup gluten-free flour 1-to-1 baking flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 2 whole eggs at room temperature
- ⅓ cup melted butter
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mashed banana about 3 medium bananas
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line the muffin pan with paper liners and keep it aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together sugar and eggs. Slowly add the butter, yogurt, and vanilla extract. And finally, add the mashed bananas and combine everything.
- Gently combine the dry and wet mixture without any lumps. Fold the chocolate chips into the muffin batter.
- With the help of an ice cream scoop, divide the batter equally into 12 muffins and bake them for 18-20 minutes until the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool down for at least 10 minutes.
- Serve the muffins to enjoy.
Notes
- Bananas – The Riper, the Better: The key to achieving maximum flavor and natural sweetness is to use overripe bananas. They not only bring sweetness to the muffins but also provide moisture and a distinct banana essence.
- Mindful Mixing: Gently fold in the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, so aim for a lumpy batter rather than a perfectly smooth one.
- Temperature Matters: Preheat your oven properly and maintain the correct baking temperature. Gluten-free baked goods can be sensitive, so accurate temperatures ensure even baking and perfect results.
- Experiment and Enjoy: Feel free to experiment with add-ins like chopped nuts, dried fruits, or even a dash of cinnamon for an extra flavor twist.
