Gluten Free Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
Here’s a tasty recipe for gluten free banana bread chocolate chip muffins baked to perfection in just about 20 minutes.
Muffins are the quintessential perfect food. Everything you want or need in a few delightful bites. Traditional banana bread used to be my weakness. But when I decided to push past “healthyish” to healthy for real, we had to part ways. Initially, I toyed with a few gluten free banana bread recipes but, eventually decided that I wanted to create something not just tasty and gluten free but, healthy and grain-free.
This grain-free banana chocolate chip banana bread recipe is perfect for when you want to use up overripe bananas. Biting into one of these muffins is comfort at it’s best. They could just as easily be used for breakfast on the go, afternoon tea or an after school afternoon snack.
Make a batch at the beginning of the week and pop them in the kids lunch bag or take one with you when you’re on the go. I decided to put some coconut in these banana chocolate chip muffins for a little something extra.
Once these muffins come out of the oven, it will be hard to let them cool. But, I discovered that cooling for 10 minutes in the muffin tin goes a long way to get the texture just right.
This recipe makes nine muffins. But, I’m going to tell you right now, you might as well go ahead an double the recipe because they won’t hang around long. I decided to go with coconut sugar for a more balanced approach to sweetness, but depending on the ripeness of the bananas you use, you can possibly skip the sugar all together.
Another option is to swap out the coconut sugar for apple sauce. Yet another variety of this recipe includes swapping out the chocolate chips in favor of pecans.
The latter makes for a less sweet but, equally delicious muffin recipe.
Grain-free chocolate chip banana bread muffins are the perfect compliment to delicious homemade unsweetened almond milk. I dare you to try these muffins and not have them be your family’s new go to favorite.
