Easy Gluten-Free Blueberry Banana Muffins
The only gluten-free blueberry banana muffin recipe you’ll ever need; a one-bowl wonder! No mixer required for these super moist banana blueberry muffins. Dairy-free and no refined sugar option.
Servings: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 2 to 3 very ripe bananas mashed, about 1 cup
- ⅓ cup melted unsalted butter or ⅓ melted coconut oil or Smart Balance butter for dairy-free option
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1½ cups gluten-free flour These were made with a rice flour blend. I like Pillsbury gluten-free flour. Not all gluten-free flours are created equal. You may experience different baking results depending on the gluten-free flour blend you choose.
- ¼ tsp xanthan gum leave out if your flour already has it in it
- pinch salt
- ½ cup granulated sugar or ½ cup of pure maple syrup for no refined sugar option
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp lemon peel optional
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ½-1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries add as much or as little as you like
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F
- Use baking cup liners or cooking spray for the muffin tin.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until completely smooth.
- Add the baking soda and stir to combine with the mashed bananas. Allow the mixture to sit for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Stir the melted butter (or melted coconut oil for dairy-free) into the mashed bananas.
- Stir in the sugar (or pure maple syrup), salt, beaten eggs, and pure vanilla extract.
- Mix in the gluten-free flour, cinnamon, dried lemon peel, and xanthan gum (leave out the xanthan gum if your flour already has it).
- Gently stir in blueberries.
- Scoop the batter into baking cups lined/cooking sprayed muffin tin. I like to use a greased ice cream scoop.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes at 350 °F, or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Please watch your oven because all ovens are different.
- Allow the muffins to cool. Enjoy!
