Gluten Free Banana Muffins
This recipe is a real family favorite! I have made these gluten free banana muffins so many times because it is a sure fire breakfast that everyone will eat! I usually make a double batch and freeze a bunch. Pro tip: a couple of these gf frozen muffins, a frozen yogurt tube, and fruit is an easy and yummy school lunch that is nice to have on hand for busy mornings. 🚌
I create many of my recipes, and certainly this one, to be versatile. Add in some chocolate chips into these muffins and you’ve got some gluten free banana chocolate chip muffins, throw in some blueberries and you’ve got gluten free blueberry banana muffins. You get the picture. They’re delicious and not too adventures for those sensitive taste buds (kiddos and adults alike!).
You can make these as muffins as the recipe suggests or as a loaf – adjusted cook times are at the bottom of the recipe. I hope you enjoy one of my family’s favorite gluten free muffins 🫶 Josie

In a separate bowl, or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar together. Add the eggs, vanilla, banana, and yogurt and mix well. Add half the dry ingredients to the wet and mix gently. Follow with the rest of the dry ingredients mixing to combine. Fold in chocolate chips or nuts (if using). The batter should be well mixed, but try not to over mix!
