Easy Gluten-Free Banana Muffins

gluten-free flour

🥗Healthier: almond flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour (not gluten-free)

Almond flour adds healthy fats and protein, while all-purpose flour is cheaper but not gluten-free.

maple syrup

🥗Healthier: agave syrup

💰Cheaper: sugar

Agave syrup is lower on the glycemic index, while sugar is a more economical sweetener.

coconut oil

🥗Healthier: applesauce

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Applesauce reduces fat while adding moisture, and vegetable oil is a budget-friendly alternative.

dairy-free chocolate chips

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate

💰Cheaper: regular chocolate chips

Dark chocolate has less sugar, while regular chocolate chips are often less expensive.

Preheat the oven and prepare the muffin tin.

Mash the bananas in a bowl.

Mix in the eggs, melted butter, and pure vanilla extract with the mashed bananas.

In another bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Fold in the gluten-free chocolate chips.

Spoon the batter into the muffin tin.

Bake until a toothpick comes out clean.
