Ingredients

• 3 large Bananas (ripe, mashed)
• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.

Step 3

Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk to the mashed bananas. Whisk until the mixture is well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

If using walnuts or chocolate chips, fold them into the batter.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
