Gluten Free Banana Nutty Muffins

     Do they taste as good as they look?  That's the  question I ask when I'm checking out recipes now that I've been diagnosed with celiac.  This muffin recipe is so good you won't believe it's not made with wheat!   I adapted this recipe from my daughter in law's family cook book. 
Gluten Free Banana Nutty Muffins

1.  In a large bowl beat with a mixer:
(1)  Whisk 2 eggs.
(2)  Then add 1/3 cup oil.
(3)  Mix in 3/4 cup brown sugar and 1 tsp. vanilla. 

2.  Mix dry ingredients in a bowl:
(1)  Mix together 1 1/2 cups of gluten free four:  I like to use 1/4 cup of brown rice flour, 1/4 cup of white rice flour,  1/2 cup of sorghum flour,  and 1/2 cup of tapioca flour. 
(2)  Then stir in 1 t  baking powder, 1/2 t baking soda, and 1/2 t salt. 
3.  In a 1 cup measuring cup:  Mash together enough bananas to equal 1 cup (about 3  bananas).


4.  Combine:  Alternately add the sugar/egg mixture and the bananas to the dry ingredients mixing after each addition.  The batter will be soft.

5.  Put into muffin tins:  Spray 12 muffin tins and fill 2/3 full.  Sprinkle walnuts on top of muffins.  Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes.  Check to make sure toothpick comes out clean.  Let them sit a few minutes before removing from the pan.

  3. Of all the banana muffin recipes I've tried, this is my favorite. I try to make sure my bananas are on the extra ripe side so they have more flavor. The texture is soft, and when you bite into it, it doesn't crumble. This is a delicious muffin, and you can't even tell it's gluten free!
