A quick and simple gluten-free muffin recipe using ripe bananas and chocolate chips, perfect for breakfast or a snack. Made in one bowl with easy-to-find ingredients, these muffins are moist, tender, and crowd-pleasing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) gluten-free all-purpose flour blend with xanthan gum
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) pure maple syrup
  • ½ cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk or dairy-free milk of choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (130g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or vegan preferred)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
  2. Mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with a few small lumps.
  3. Add eggs, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the bananas. Whisk gently until combined and slightly frothy.
  4. Sprinkle gluten-free flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon over the wet mixture. Fold gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips, reserving a handful for topping if desired.
  6. Spoon batter evenly into muffin cups, filling about ¾ full. Sprinkle reserved chocolate chips on top.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter. Tent with foil if tops brown too quickly.
  8. Cool muffins in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

If batter is too thick or dry, add an extra tablespoon of almond milk. Avoid overmixing to prevent dense muffins. Use very ripe bananas for best moisture and sweetness. Muffins can be stored at room temperature for 2 days or frozen for up to 3 months. To make vegan, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use dairy-free chocolate chips and plant-based milk.
