Gluten & Dairy Free Banana Muffins

There are a couple gluten and dairy free recipes that I use nearly every week and I’m determined to get them all up on the blog. One of them – banana muffins. If you come to my house it’s almost guaranteed that I will feed these to you. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked for this recipe! It is adapted from my dad’s muffin and there are a few reasons I love them!

Gluten & Dairy Free

When I am g/d free the number one thing I crave is CARBS. It is what I want for breakfast…and lunch…and dinner…and right before bed. Having at least one carb option in the house at all times is essential for me. To add to that these don’t taste gluten and dairy free. I actually don’t tell people they are because ~let’s be honest~ people who aren’t g/d free are skeptical when they are about to eat something that they know is. All 3 of my sisters, 3 sister in laws, my mom and numerous girlfriends didn’t believe me when I told them (after they ate them 😉).

I can make them in a moments notice

I keep a bag of frozen bananas in my freezer and anytime I have a banana start turning brown I throw it in the bag. I actually buy extra bananas every week for this reason. The rest of the ingredients are things I keep on hand, so I always know I can whip up a batch of these quickly. If my sister texts me she wants to come over I microwave a couple bananas, throw together a quick batch (or half batch), and pull them out right as she is pulling in my driveway. Everyone likes banana muffins, adults and kids alike!

Tips

• keep a bag of bananas in your freezer
• swap out whatever nuts, or skip them all together
• this is the gluten free flour I use, it makes a great substitution in normal recipes. Here it is on Amazon, but it is WAY more affordable at Costco (the cheapest gf flour I’ve ever found actually)
• split the recipe in half for 6 muffins

Enjoy!!
