A little dusting of sanding sugar prior to putting these gluten-free banana cinnamon chip muffins in the oven really make them pop!

Gluten Free Banana Cinnamon Chip Muffins

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 c. applesauce
  • 1 tbsp + 1 tsp canola oil
  • 2/3 c. brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/2 c. mashed RIPE bananas about 3 bananas
  • 1 3/4 c. gluten free all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • * 1 tsp xanthan gum if your gluten-free flour blend doesn't have it
  • 1 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup Hershey's Cinnamon Chips If you want to also use nuts, do 1/2 cup of chips and 1/2 cup of nuts.

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, blend wet ingredients. If your three bananas equal slightly less than 1 1/2 cups, make up the difference with applesauce.
  • In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, etc.) and baking chips (+nuts if using.) 
  • Slowly add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Mix until just moistened. 
  • While the batter rests, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line standard muffin tin with silicone or paper muffin liners. My silicone liners were sturdy enough that I could place them on a cookie sheet.
  • Pour batter into muffin liners.I suggest using a 3 tbsp scoop.
  • Bake the gluten-free banana cinnamon chip muffins for 23-28 minutes. I believe I baked mine closer to 25 minutes.
  • Allow to cool and then devour!
