Servings 12 muffins

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup natural oil
  • 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar 
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 and 1/2 cups mashed bananas (about 3 large ripe bananas)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 12 muffin cups with liners and lightly grease them.
  • Whisk the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the sugar with the oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Add the mashed banana and mix until well incorporated.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Fold in ¾ cup of the chocolate chips.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cups/liners and place the remaining chocolate chips on top.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until cooked. Keep in mind that all ovens are different. To know if it’s ready, insert a toothpick into the center of the muffins; it should come out clean, with no streaks of batter.
  • Let cool before removing.

Notes

Store the muffins covered at room temperature for 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
