I love a simple way to use up bananas that are getting too ripe. This recipe definitely takes care of that! These chocolate chip banana muffins are easy to toss the ingredients into your mixer and have muffins ready to bake. I also love just having one bowl to clean up when baking.

Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Add bananas, brown sugar, sugar, butter, egg and milk to the bowl of your stand mixer. Beat until bananas are broken into little pieces. If your bananas aren't overripe you will need to mash them before adding them.

Add the gluten free flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon to the wet ingredients. Blend until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and blend just until they are mixed into the batter.

Using a tablespoon place two heaping tablespoons in each cup of your muffin pan. I like to line my muffin tins for easy clean up.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20-22 minutes.

Let the muffins cool completely before storing in an air tight container.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make chocolate chip banana muffins?

These gluten free muffins are so easy to make. It is best to have overripe bananas, but if you have bananas that are ripe they will work. You add your bananas, brown sugar, sugar, unsalted butter, egg and milk to the bowl of your mixer and blend until the banana is broken into small pieces. If your banana isn't overripe you will need to mash it before putting it into the mixer so it doesn't stay in large chunks.

Then add your gluten free flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon to the wet ingredients. Blend until the just mixed together. Add the chocolate chips and blend until they are mixed in.

Then place approximately two heaping tablespoons into each cup of a 12 muffins tin. I like to use muffin liners for easy clean up. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-24 minutes. The muffins will be golden brown on top.

What makes chocolate chip banana muffins gluten free?

The key to gluten free chocolate chip banana muffins is the flour. The rest of the ingredients should already be gluten free. I like to use Namaste Gluten Free Perfect Flour Blend. I get the big bag at Costco. It is cost effective and I've had really good luck baking with it.

If you don't normally bake gluten free remember not to cross contaminate with the measuring cup and utensil you are using for this recipe. I suggest making the gluten free recipe first and then making whatever else you have planned. Cross contaminating gluten baking with this will not be good for whoever you are serving these to.
