  • Line 18 large muffin cups with paper liners. Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add the melted butter and blend. Combine the eggs, milk, vanilla, and mashed bananas, and add them to the flour-and-butter mixture. Scrape the bowl and blend well. Don't overmix.

GLUTEN-FREE BANANA-NUT MUFFINS



Gluten-Free Banana-Nut Muffins image

Provided by Cooking Channel

Time 1h25m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 16

Cooking or pan spray, for greasing
1 1/4 cups toasted walnuts
1/2 cup amaranth flour (certified gluten-free)
1/2 cup brown rice flour (certified gluten-free)
1/4 cup tapioca flour (certified gluten-free)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup lightly mashed ripe bananas (2 to 3 bananas)
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, separated
Turbinado sugar for sprinkling, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Adjust the oven rack to the center. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with your favorite liners and lightly grease with cooking spray.
  • 2. Finely chop the walnuts in a food processor. Set aside 3 tablespoons for garnish.
  • 3. Combine the remaining ground walnuts, amaranth flour, brown rice flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and baking soda in a large bowl. Add the sugar and work in with your hands.
  • 4. Whisk together the bananas, milk, oil, vanilla and egg yolks in a separate medium bowl.
  • 5. Whip the egg whites on medium-high speed in the bowl of a large stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or in a large bowl of using a hand mixer) until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • 6. Fold the banana mixture into the nut-flour mixture until combined (don't fret if your batter has lumps, this means it isn't over-worked). Fold one third of the whipped egg whites into the batter until completely incorporated, then gently fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined (it's alright if the batter is a little streaky).
  • 7. Fill each liner about three-quarters full. Sprinkle with the reserved ground walnuts and turbinado sugar, if using.
  • 8. Bake until the muffins are golden brown and nicely cracked on the top, and a toothpick inserted in the muffins comes out clean, 28 to 30 minutes, rotating halfway through baking. Let cool in the hot muffin tin 3 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Spray 24 mini-muffin-pan cups with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In medium bowl, mix first six ingredients.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be. If you don't have any ripe bananas on hand, you can ripen them quickly by baking them in the oven at 300°F for 10-15 minutes, or by microwaving them on high for 1-2 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Use a muffin pan with a nonstick coating: This will help prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will usually take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely: This will help prevent the muffins from falling apart.

Conclusion:

These gluten-free banana nut crunch muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. The muffins are filled with ripe bananas, crunchy walnuts, and a sweet cinnamon sugar topping. They are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
