Gluten-Free Banana Muffins are moist, tender, and easy to make. Great morning breakfast or treat. These tasty mini muffins will disappear before your eyes. Furthermore, they are perfect for breakfast, or a tasty grab-n-go treat. Needless to say, these little bite-size pieces of heaven can be made with or without nuts. However, my favorite nuts are hazelnuts. Reminiscent of grandma’s kitchen. The aroma will have you salivating.
Gluten-Free Banana Muffins
Incredibly my family could not taste the difference between these muffins and muffins with regular flour in them. Moreover, when my family ate these they said, “Are you sure you changed the kind of flour you use?” Yep, these are a keeper and super yummy! Indeed, the aroma emanating from my oven was so overwhelming it was so hard to wait until they cooled down. As a matter of fact, coconut milk gives these muffins a creamy and delectable flavor.
Nonetheless, the fact that most gluten-free bakery items used to make me cringe as they were as tasty as a stale piece of cardboard while often fooling you by appearing appealing. It is, therefore, why I was encouraged by friends and family to start my blog and share it with others who are in the same predicament as myself. For instance, those with autoimmune disorders, leaky gut, etc. no longer eat grains or refined sugar as it can be a very isolated feeling. In particular, grocery shopping can be a little intimidating as the majority of the food in the supermarket about 90% are foods I can no longer eat. But, tasty, delicious, and decadent food is what all people crave.
In all honesty, my friends have said that they don’t taste like they are grain-free. In other words, they taste like they have grains. Don’t settle for flavorless, textureless, or unattractive food. You have to make these muffins and bring that yummy aroma to your kitchen. If you do make these please let me know what you think of them.
Gluten-Free Banana Muffins Recipe Notes:
Hence I went to my kitchen to experiment and this is the recipe I came up with.
At any rate, I occasionally add nuts to this recipe to give it some texture and crunch. As a matter of fact, I like to roast my nuts in the oven as I feel it gives them a deeper flavor. On this particular day, I added 1 cup of roasted hazelnuts. Furthermore, I have used walnuts, pecans, and hazelnuts and liked them all. I prefer to make mini, muffins feel free to use a regular-sized muffin tin.
