Gluten-free Banana Muffins

You know what I hate? Bananas. Not a fan of the texture, and the fact that I get a killer stomach ache from eating them raw… no thanks.

You know what I don’t hate? Banana muffins. I don’t get it, but there it is. Apparently I can eat cooked and pulverized bananas, such as with banana bread and these banana muffins. Thanks, body, for being super weird.

I’ve made banana muffins a million times, and they’re always gobbled up. This gluten-free version is no exception. This is a recipe from the good ol’ Better Homes and Gardens that my mom gave me when I got married. There are a few true gems in that recipe book, and I’m pretty thrilled that they work just as well being made gluten-free!

Notes

If you have a stand mixer, you can mash the bananas by adding them to the mixer first and turning it on, which saves a dirty bowl!

While we’re talking about saving bowls, most muffin recipes have you mix the dry ingredients in one bowl, the wet in another bowl and then combine. Because I’m lazy and hate washing dishes, I never do this and it works out for me. I just combine the wet ingredients first and then add all the dry ingredients. As always, you do you, boo.
