Step-by-Step Instructions for Gluten-Free Banana Muffins
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Mash 2-3 ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
  3. Combine mashed bananas with 2 eggs, 1/3 cup of honey (or maple syrup), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk until well-blended.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of almond flour, 1/4 cup of coconut flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Optionally add mix-ins.
  6. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease gently. Fill each cup about 2/3 full with batter.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
