Notes
Recipe Notes:
I adapted this recipe from a few I found online that were for regular wheat flour muffins. This recipe can be made exactly the same with regular flour. Also, depending on the sweetness of the bananas, they can be made with less added sugar. I have used up to 1 cup and used as little as 1/4. The only difference is the cooking time. I find that gluten-free recipes take just a little bit longer to bake than regular wheat flour recipes.
Another option is to add nuts to this recipe. If you love banana bread with walnuts, for example, you could easily add them (acout 1/4 cup).
The Chocolate chips are a yummy addition, but I have a child who hates chocolate (so weird…) and I make a small batch without chocolate chips for them. This recipe is really versatile!
