Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cupcakes will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough cupcakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a muffin pan with a nonstick coating: This will help the cupcakes come out of the pan easily.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: The cupcakes will rise as they bake, so don't fill the cups all the way to the top.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.

These gluten-free banana cupcakes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are moist, flavorful, and have a perfect crumb. Whether you are gluten-free or not, you will love these cupcakes. So next time you have a hankering for something sweet, give these gluten-free banana cupcakes a try. You won't be disappointed!
