Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins
Description
Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins blend ripe bananas, gluten-free all-purpose flour, and aromatic cinnamon with chocolate chips folded throughout. Avocado oil and pure maple syrup lend moisture and gentle sweetness, while eggs bind the ingredients. Vanilla extract adds a warm, sweet aroma.
The batter is portioned into muffin tins and baked at 350°F until golden brown and cooked through. Checking doneness with an internal temperature of 190°F ensures the center is properly set and moist but not raw.
The finished muffins have a tender texture with bursts of melted chocolate in each bite. The cinnamon undertone pairs well with the banana flavor, offering a comforting treat for breakfast or snacks.
Ingredients
- 4 ripe banana mashed (about 1.5 cups
- 2 large egg
- 1/3 cup avocado oil or melted butter, or ghee
- 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup or brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract pure
- 1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour gluten-free
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt sea salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅔ cup chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a muffin tray with cooking oil or line with muffin papers.
- Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl until most of the chunks are out (it’s okay to leave it somewhat chunky). Whisk in the eggs, avocado oil, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well-combined.
- In a separate mixing bowl, stir together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, sea salt, cinnamon, and chocolate chips until well-combined.
- Pour the flour mixture into the bowl with the banana mixture and mix until everything is well-incorporated.
- Fill the muffin holes ¾ of the way up with muffin batter and sprinkle with more chocolate chips if desired.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the muffins are golden-brown and cooked through. A great way of telling whether or not a muffin is fully cooked is by taking the internal temperature. To do so, insert a digital thermometer into the center of one of the muffins. It is done if it has reached at least 190 degrees Fahrenheit, with the ideal temperature range being between 190 and 205.
- Allow muffins to cool completely before peeling and eating.
- Pro Tip: Microwave the muffins for 15 to 20 seconds in the microwave before eating :)
