Why Make These Gluten Free Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
Gluten free goods can sometimes be overly dense and dry, these muffins are the complete opposite! They are light and fluffy with a slight crisp to the outside from the almond flour. I almost like them better than the regular version of these muffins. They have lots of good texture and adding walnuts to the tops makes them look even more appetizing.
Ingredients You’ll Need For Gluten Free Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
Almond Flour. This will give the Gluten Free Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins some extra protein!
Coconut Sugar. You may also use a sugar alternative or white granulated sugar.
Coconut Oil. Canola or olive oil will also work. I prefer coconut oil for this recipe.
Over Ripe Bananas. Typically two will be perfect.
Gluten Free Oats. Oats are naturally gluten free, but if you are celiac please be sure to get the certified gluten free.
Vanilla Extract.
Salt and Cinnamon.
Walnuts (optional)
Chocolate chips. I use semi sweet.
Eggs
Baking Powder & Baking Soda
How To Make This Recipe
Step one. Mix all the dry ingredients into medium bowl whisk together and get clumps out. Mix all wet ingredients together in a large separate bowl. Pour into dry ingredients, add chocolate chips and walnuts. Mix together well.
Step Two. Mix all the dry ingredients into medium bowl whisk together and get clumps out. Mix all wet ingredients together in a large separate bowl. Pour into dry ingredients, add chocolate chips and walnuts. Mix together well. Add muffin cups to the muffin tin. If you do not have any than spray the muffin tin or rub coconut oil on the cups to prevent sticking – Muffin cups are highly recommended to hold the muffins in place. Spoon in muffin mix, fill the muffin cups halfway to 3/4 full. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes ** check with a toothpick to be sure it comes out clean before pulling out of the oven – oven temps will vary
Recipe Tips

With gluten free items they take a bit longer to set. Be sure to let them rest and completely cool. This will help everything to stick together.
