A simple recipe for moist, flavorful muffins using ripe bananas and chocolate chips, made entirely without gluten.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar until combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Add the mashed bananas and milk to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed or by hand until just incorporated. A few lumps are fine.
  7. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  8. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  9. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute the butter with coconut oil and use your preferred non-dairy milk.
  • If your gluten-free flour blend does not contain xanthan gum, add 1/2 teaspoon to the dry ingredients.
  • To make these muffins fluffier, ensure your baking soda and baking powder are fresh.
  • You can use frozen ripe bananas; thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid before mashing.
