Gluten Free Banana Walnut Muffins Recipe
Description
The muffins are mixed by combining mashed bananas with eggs, avocado oil, and honey in one bowl, and brown rice flour with baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and chopped walnuts in another. The wet and dry ingredients are then incorporated together to form batter with a balance of moisture and structure. The batter is spooned into muffin cups and baked at 350°F for about 30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Once baked, the muffins have a soft crumb with the natural sweetness of bananas and the crunchy texture of walnuts.
The flavor highlights the banana and cinnamon warmth, complemented by walnut crunch throughout. Using brown rice flour offers a gluten-free option while providing a light texture. The avocado oil contributes mild richness, and honey serves as a natural sweetener.
These muffins are suitable for breakfast or snack times and can be enjoyed plain or with butter and honey. They represent a wholesome, gluten-conscious choice that uses ripe bananas to impart moistness without excess fat.
