Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Gluten-Free Banana Muffins
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it.
  2. Mash 3 to 4 very ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth, maintaining some lumps.
  3. Whisk in 2 eggs, ½ cup of softened butter, ½ cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually stir in 2 cups of gluten-free flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and optional chocolate chips until just combined.
  5. Fill the muffin tin with the batter, about two-thirds full, to allow for rising.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
