PB Choc GF Banana Muffins

Friends, it’s about that time of year when we’re all in the mood for something sweet, maybe even a little dessert action? Valentine’s Day is no exception with my GF Banana Muffins. But whether you’re treating yourself, enjoying these with someone you love, or cooking them for your partner, they make a great baking activity for any time of the year. They’re completely gluten-free, packed with nutrients, and a perfectly sweet treat to add to your day.

Hope you love them as much as I loved creating them! This was the FIRST recipe in my brand new studio kitchen, with plenty more to come soon! Check out the full recipe below!

What makes these GF Banana Muffins healthy?

These muffins are completely gluten-free, so friendly for all of you paleo people out there as well. They’re packed with healthy fats from our almond flour, eggs, and cold-pressed olive oil, and naturally sweet from those mashed bananas and maple syrup.

The color code for this recipe is YELLOW! Yellow foods are often high in antioxidants and vitamins C and A, which are important for fighting cancer and maintaining eye health and gorgeous skin!

What makes these GF Banana Muffins easy?

These muffins are as simple as mix and go, with a two step process designed to get you the lightest, fluffiest batter imaginable. We’re taking it to epic standards by adding some toppings right to the baked muffins, so no need to layer batter and fillings. We’re also making this recipe completely in our Cuisinart stand mixer just to take it to that next level.
