Gluten Free Banana Nut Muffins are light and moist while being big on flavor. They are jam packed with bananas and chopped walnuts.

Banana nut muffins have always been a favorite of mine. The girls and James don’t like nuts so I usually make half with nuts and half without nuts.

The girls love muffins. I love that when I make homemade muffins I know they are healthier for them. I also like how easy they are to whip up. The girls would probably gobble up the entire batch if I let them. As it is they chow down on them as soon as they come out of the oven! Gluten Free Banana Nut muffins are perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack.

Makes approximately 24 muffins

Gluten Free Banana Nut Muffins are light and moist while being big on flavor. They are jam packed with bananas and chopped walnuts.
Notes:
  • I use Better Batter’s gluten free flour for all my baking and it already contains xanthan gum. If your gluten free flour does not, and most don’t, you’ll need to add 3 tsp of xanthan gum to the ingredients.
To store:
  • Place completely cooled gluten free banana nut muffins in an airtight container or zip top bag.
  • Store on the counter for up to 4 days. This is only a guess as to how long the muffins can be stored on the counter. I usually freeze most of mine and only remove what we need for two days at a time.
To freeze:
  1. Place muffins on wire rack directly into the freezer.
  2. Flash freeze for 30 minutes.
  3. Remove muffins and place into zip top freezer safe bags.
  4. Store in the freezer for up to 6 months.
To use:
  • Thaw on the counter for a couple of hours or microwave for a few seconds to defrost.

I made these gluten free banana nut muffins with regular sugar. You can substitute brown sugar, coconut sugar, or honey if you prefer.

What’s your favorite way to enjoy bananas?

Have a great day!
