Ingredients

 

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (8 Tbsp), softened

• 2/3 tsp monk fruit sweetener

• 2 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten

• 3 ripe bananas, coarsely mashed

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 Tbsp honey (optional)

• 1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour (I like half oat flour with half rice-based gluten-free flour)

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips or frozen blueberries (optional: mix in chopped walnuts)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

Before starting, ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature, especially the eggs and butter. This helps them blend smoothly, ensuring a better texture for your muffins.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, eggs, vanilla and the optional honey until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed. Next, add mashed bananas and lightly mix until well combined.

Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, monkfruit sweetener and salt. If you’re using a combination of oat flour and rice flour, ensure they are well mixed.

Step 4: Bring It All Together

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in dense muffins. Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips or frozen blueberries. Feel free to add chopped walnuts for an extra burst of flavor and healthy fats.

Step 5: Prepare the Muffin Tin

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with No products found. or lightly grease it. No products found. are a great investment—they’re reusable, non-stick, and easy to clean, making your baking experience more convenient and eco-friendly. They will also keep your healthy muffins from drying. Scoop the batter evenly into the No products found. filling each at least 2/3 full.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Place the muffin tin or cookie sheet with No products found. in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of your healthy muffin comes out clean. Baking with frozen blueberries may add a couple minutes. These healthy muffins should be golden on top but not overbaked.

Step 7: Cool and Enjoy

Allow your healthy muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely or just let them stay in the No products found.. Enjoy your healthy, sugar-free, gluten-free muffins warm or cold!
