These Gluten and Dairy Free Banana Muffins take only minutes to put together, and they're moist, delicious, and free from refined sugar. They're sweetened naturally with blueberries and pure maple syrup, making them the perfect healthy snack or addition to your breakfast.
A Note About Gluten Free Flour
Different brands of gluten free flour will produce varied results, largely due to the differences in ingredients. I prefer Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 gluten free baking flour, which usually works very well as a 1-to-1 substitution for regular all purpose flour. This flour contains xantham gum, which works as a binding agent to help hold on to moisture and keep baked goods from falling apart. If your flour does not contain xantham gum, I recommend adding in ¼ teaspoon to this recipe.
Coconut Oil
I prefer to use whole food ingredients when I can, so I make these using coconut oil. If you can't have coconut, you can also substitute it with melted vegan butter or a neutral tasting oil like canola.
