If you’re a mom of young kids, chances are you have some spotty bananas staring at you from the corner of your kitchen counter right now. Rid yourself of the fruit fly collection and try these delish gluten-free muffins!
Main Ingredient spotlight
Bananas are a cheap and easy grab-and-go snack for kids and adults. We usually keep them stocked at our house for that reason. Every couple of weeks they seem to be forgotten and we just watch the bananas get darker every day. I only like to eat them if there is no brown. After a few brown spots show up, I peel and freeze for smoothies. If they are mostly brown then I use them for pancakes or muffins. I love using bananas in gluten-free muffins. Gluten-free baking can easily be too dry to enjoy, but not with bananas in the recipe!
Gluten-free Flours of Choice
For this recipe, I used the same gluten-free flour combo that I used in the Gluten-free Apple Pie Muffins. You definitely want to stick to the measurements of the flours since they are so different. I’ve had a little too much coconut flour dry out a few recipes! I like this flour combo because the oat brings some moisture and chewiness, the almond brings some structure, and the coconut soaks up just enough moisture to leave you with a texture that doesn’t immediately give away that it is gluten-free!
