Easiest Banana Muffins Ever
These are vegan & vegetarian, as well as gfcf, egg, dairy, gluten, nut, and corn free. They are also yummy and amazingly easy. They make a great banana bread, too - just cook it longer.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup banana – mashed (about medium 2 bananas)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup (or brown sugar)
- 2/3 cup orange juice
- 1/3 cup cooking oil
- 2 cups gf flour mix - 1 1/3 c flour, 2/3 c starch (if not gluten-free, use 2 cups “regular” flour and omit the xanthan gum)
- 1 tsp xanthan or guar gum
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Method
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil a 12 cup muffin pan, or use muffin cups. Keep a 6-cup muffin tin ready, sometimes this works out to be 18 muffins. Mini-muffins work great with this recipe, too.
In a blender, combine banana, juice, syrup, oil.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl until combined. Add banana mixture and combine, using as few strokes as possible so that you do not overmix the batter.
Spoon batter into muffin tins, filling each one 3/4 full. Bake until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 20 - 25 minutes.
Let muffins cool 5 minutes before removing from pan.
If you are OK with nuts, you can replace some of the flour with a nut meal/nut flour. Or add 1/2 cup chopped nuts to the batter at the end.

I want to try the recipe for “Easiest banana Muffins Ever”. I have a question about the flour. I have Bette Hagman’s flour mix - do I just use 2 cups of this flour - do I still need the starch? The recipes says about using 1 1/3 cups flour and 2/3 cups starch - Do I use this? What kind of starch? I am new to this way of baking.You can email me at: Tickletheivories45@verizon.net. Have a great day!

Hi, I am eager to try these, but I am confused by the ingredients and instruction, there is no baking powder in the ingredients list, but the directions say to add it, but there is the xanthan gum in the ingredients, but not in the directions.. Which should I be adding?
thanks
