Description
Delicious gluten-free banana muffins made with ripe bananas and chocolate chips, perfect for breakfast or a snack!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4–6 large ripe bananas (about 2 cups mashed, be sure to measure the mashed banana)
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups gluten free all purpose flour (I recommend King Arthur’s Gluten Free All Purpose Flour, 360 grams)
- 1 ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Mash 4-6 bananas, then measure out 2 cups using dry measuring cups, not liquid measuring cups. It’s important to measure the banana since the size of each banana can vary so much.
- In a mixing bowl combine the mashed bananas, vegetable oil, eggs and vanilla extract. Stir to combine with a spatula.
- In a separate bowl combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. If adding chocolate chips, mix them in now.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing by hand just until combined. The batter will be thick.
- Cover the bowl with a towel and allow the batter to rest for 15 minutes. During this time, preheat the oven to 425ºF.
- Fill the liners super full with batter, about 6-8 heaping tablespoons. Top the muffins with extra chocolate chips and sanding sugar.
- Place one pan in the center of the oven and bake for 7 minutes at 425ºF, then keep the muffins in the oven, and turn the temperature down to 350ºF and bake for 13-16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing. Repeat with the remaining batter, bumping the temperature back up to 425ºF.
Notes
- Be sure to measure the mashed bananas accurately as the size of bananas can vary significantly.
- For best results, allow the batter to rest to enhance the texture of the muffins.
