A simple recipe for moist, tender banana chocolate chip muffins made without wheat flour, suitable for a gluten-free diet.

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 dairy-free or regular semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). 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 to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until no streaks of flour remain. A few lumps are acceptable.
  7. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  8. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  9. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and moisture in your muffins.
  • If your gluten-free flour blend does not contain xanthan gum, add 1/2 teaspoon to the dry ingredients.
  • For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free chocolate chips and ensure your butter substitute is dairy-free.
