Overview of Ingredients

1. Old Fashioned Oats: The base of the muffins, providing structure, texture, and a hearty flavor. Oats also add fiber and essential nutrients to this gluten-free banana muffin recipe. If you are working with a food allergy, be sure to use certified gluten-free oats.
2. Ripe Mashed Bananas: Act as a natural sweetener, adding sweetness and moisture to the muffins. Bananas also contribute to the texture, making the muffins soft and tender.
3. Eggs: Serve as a binding agent, helping to hold the ingredients together and providing structure to the muffins. Eggs also add moisture and richness to the recipe. Note: while we love using flax eggs whenever possible, this recipe is not a good candidate for that substitution.
4. Honey: Provides additional sweetness to the muffins while also enhancing their flavor profile. Honey adds a subtle hint of sweetness without overpowering the other ingredients.
5. Baking Powder: Acts as a leavening agent, helping these gluten-free muffins rise and achieve a light and fluffy texture. Baking powder also contributes to the overall structure of the muffins.
6. Baking Soda: Another leavening agent that helps the muffins rise and expand during baking. Baking soda also neutralizes the acidity in the batter, promoting browning and ensuring a balanced flavor.
7. Vanilla Extract: Enhances the flavor of the muffins, adding a warm and aromatic undertone. Vanilla extract provides depth and complexity to the overall taste profile of the recipe.
8. Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips: Add bursts of chocolatey goodness throughout the muffins, providing indulgent flavor and texture. Dairy-free chocolate chips ensure the recipe remains dairy-free while satisfying chocolate cravings. My favorite DF chocolate chips are Wegman’s brand of semi-sweet mini chips, but you can use any brand that you prefer.

FAQ: Gluten Free Dairy Free Banana Muffins

Can I freeze these muffins?

Yes, these muffins freeze well. Once cooled completely, wrap them individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place them in a resealable plastic bag or airtight container. Store them in the freezer for up to three months. To enjoy, simply thaw at room temperature (for best results) or reheat in the microwave for a quick snack or breakfast.

Can I substitute ingredients in this recipe?

Feel free to customize this recipe to suit your preferences. Try substituting the honey with pure maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan option. Additionally, you can add chopped nuts or dried fruit for extra texture and flavor.

With these Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Banana Muffins, you can indulge in a delicious and nutritious treat that’s perfect for a variety of dietary needs. Whether you’re looking for a satisfying breakfast or a wholesome snack, these muffins are just right.

Tips for Success

1. Use Ripe Bananas: Ensure your bananas are ripe, with brown spots on the peel. Ripe bananas are sweeter and easier to mash, resulting in moist and flavorful muffins.
2. Proper Mixing: Blend or process the ingredients until smooth and well combined, but avoid overmixing to prevent dense muffins. Mix until all ingredients are just incorporated for a light and fluffy texture. We love using our Vitamix Blender for this step.
3. Fill Muffin Cups Appropriately: Fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full to allow room for the muffins to rise during baking. Overfilling may cause the muffins to overflow or bake unevenly.
4. Check for Doneness: Test the muffins for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, the muffins are ready. Avoid overbaking to keep the muffins moist.
5. Enjoy Fresh(ish): These muffins can be enjoyed fresh on the day they are baked. However, as with most banana bread-type recipes, I find giving them some time on the counter and eating them a few hours after baking allows the flavor to develop and the texture to set. I usually make muffins at night to serve the next morning for a quick on-the-go breakfast.

Start your day right with Gluten-Free Dairy-Free banana muffins – a delicious and nutritious choice.
