If you love gluten-free banana bread, you’ll love gluten-free banana muffins! They’re easy and make a great portable gluten-free breakfast or snack!
If you love banana bread, you’ll love these gluten-free banana bread muffins! When I have overripe bananas on the counter, I always make these gluten-free banana muffins or my gluten-free peanut butter banana chocolate chip muffins. If I have a ton of bananas to use up, I’ll make both!
I don’t mind having a huge amount of muffins as my favorite thing is to freeze them for later. I’ll stack them in rows in gallon freezer bags to freeze. On busy mornings, I’ll just pull out two for each kid, microwave for about 15-20 seconds to thaw a bit, and place in their lunches along with yogurt and fruit. The kids love them and they’re such a nice change from sandwiches. Frozen gluten-free muffins have bailed me out more than once on mornings where we’re low on groceries!
My boys and I really love gluten-free muffins. Whether made with apples, blueberries, or peanut butter – doesn’t matter the flavor, we love them! When I travel, I will usually make up a bunch of muffins to bring with me, along with a bag of gluten-free almond granola. Those two things provide me with safe, yummy breakfasts while we are traveling.
This recipe easily doubles. In fact, I almost always make a double batch of these easy gluten-free banana muffins. You can use your extras in these gluten-free banana parfaits!
Next time you have overripe bananas, give this recipe for the best gluten-free banana muffins a chance!
Oh, and if you still have more overripe bananas to use up, you could make these banana pancakes, or this gluten-free raspberry banana bread!
Gluten-free Banana Muffin Recipe:
Feel free to double this gluten-free banana muffin recipe. I usually do! Single recipe makes about 18 muffins, so a double batch will net you 3 dozen! I have tested this with King Arthur's Measure for Measure Gluten-free Flour Blend, Gluten Free Mama's Almond Flour Blend and Coconut Flour Blend All-purpose flours and recommend them. Other good quality flour blends should work just fine as well. *Omit the xanthan gum if your flour blend includes xanthan or guar gum already.

I have made these a few times now. Today I doubled up the recipe as usual but didn't have much butter or margarine in the house so just used organic sunflower oil instead. Made 24 muffins, one loaf and a giant muffin in a pudding basin! The loaf and the giant muffin took twice as long to cook so I covered them with greaseproof half way through. All turned out perfectly! Thank you so much for this adaptable, yummy recipe.

These banana muffins are so delicious!! I used the copycat GFM Almond Flour recipe by DDM the chef from the GF Pull apart Dinner Rolls. I am not Celiac, I just feel better when I don't eat Gluten. I also made these sugar free by using one cup of Monk Fruit and Erythritol granular sweetener instead of the sugar. I just found this website and am so happy I did. I can't wait to try some more of these delicious recipes! Thank you!!!

How does this taste with ghee? What about with almond milk? And if you were to use almond flour and coconut together what ratio would you use?

Hi Lisa, If I'd tried any of those substitutions, I would include that info above. Feel free to give them a try but would suggest making as is first, then try one substitution at at time so you can tell what works and doesn't! I think that replacing the buttermilk with almond milk plus lemon juice will work just fine - I have done that substitution before in other recipes. I've never used ghee, and I definitely advise against the almond flour/coconut flour substitution.
