Enjoy these moist, flavorful gluten-free banana muffins that are perfect for a quick breakfast or snack. Packed with ripe bananas and optional mix-ins, they’re both delicious and wholesome.

Ingredients

Bananas

  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed (the riper, the better for sweetness and moisture)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup melted coconut oil (or substitute with canola or melted butter)
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup or honey (for gentle sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups gluten free all-purpose flour blend (make sure yours contains xanthan gum)
  • ½ cup almond flour (for nutty flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed (for fiber boost)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup chopped walnuts, pecans, or dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin.
  • Mash bananas and whisk in eggs, coconut oil, vanilla, and maple syrup.
  • Mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl and sift into wet mixture.
  • Fold dry into wet just until combined; fold in optional mix-ins.
  • Spoon batter into muffin cups and bake for 18-22 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

For best results, do not over-mix the batter to keep muffins tender.
