Decadent Gluten-Free Banana Muffins Recipe
These gluten free banana muffins are great to make when you have some ripe bananas to use up.
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- 9 Muffin cases
- 1 Muffin Tray
- 1 Measuring Jug
Ingredients
- 250 g Gluten-free self-raising flour
- 50 g Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Gluten-free baking powder
- 2 Medium Eggs
- 2-3 Ripe bananas (peeled and mashed)
- 100 g Sultanas
- 4 Fl oz Vegetable oil
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 20 g Flaked almonds or pumpkin seeds to sprinkle on top before cooking (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 (gas 4). Pop some paper muffin cases into a muffin tin. Depending on how big you make your muffins this recipe can make between 9-12 muffins
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the gluten-free self-raising flour and baking powder. Whisking these dry ingredients together ensures even distribution and helps prevent lumps in your batter.
- In a separate bowl mix the oil and sugar and combine well. This will help to make your muffins light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Don't worry if the mixture looks a bit curdled at this stage - it will come together when you add the dry ingredients.
- Stir in the mashed bananas, sultanas and vanilla extract. The riper your bananas, the more flavour they'll impart to your muffins.
- Gradually fold in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk if needed. Start and end with the flour mixture, and be careful not to overmix. A few small lumps are fine - overmixing can lead to tough muffins.
- Pour the mixture into the muffin cases.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until golden brown.
- To check if it is cooked through pop a skewer inside if it comes out clean it is fully cooked (if it isn't fully cooked keep cooking and checking in 5-minute intervals until done).
- Allow to cool for a few minutes then remove the muffin cases from the tin onto a wire rack to fully cool.
- Serve with custard, maple syrup or on its own, delicious.
