Gluten Free Banana Blueberry Honey Muffins

Gluten Free Banana Blueberry Honey Muffins


 I LOVE muffins for breakfast. When my doctor advised me to shift to a gluten free way of eating a while back, my love of the breakfast-muffin was one of the first things to cross my mind. “WHAT?!!” I think was exactly how it went…


After some research, TONS of help from America’s Test Kitchen, and gluten free buddies on social media: I got my gluten free baking groove going! Yes, it’s different, but it CAN BE DONE. I experiment all the time: yes, a few of them are catastrophes. But these Banana Blueberry Honey Muffins?  WINNERS.


Ingredients


1 ½ cups of Pamela’s Baking Mix


½ cup tapioca flour


¼ cup water


1/3 cup honey


1 teaspoon vanilla


1 egg


1 mashed banana


½ cup berries


Directions


Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. Mix together the Pamela’s mix, tapioca flour, water, honey, vanilla, and egg. Let it rest in a bowl, uncovered, while you mash up the banana in a bowl. Use the back of a big spoon and mash one, leopard-spotted banana in a bowl. Once it’s a baby-food consistency, fold it into the big bowl of already-mixed batter. Blend until smooth. Fold in the berries with a spatula until evenly mixed. Give your muffin tin a spray with oil and load the tray about 2/3 full for each muffin. Bake for 25 minutes, but please keep an eye on it: all ovens vary. When they’re brown on top, they are ready to come out. Let them cool in the muffin pan for a few minutes. Remove them and let them cool on a rack until ready to store (or devour). This recipe makes 12 muffins.



Tips



  • I don’t have Pamela’s mix. Try any GF mix from your store. Seems like the most readily available is Gluten Free Bisquick.




  • What berries do I use? Any kind you like! Chris Pryme just gave us some gorgeous blueberries from her farm, so we went with those.

  • Can I add nuts? Sure you can! Just add them in after you mix in the banana and before you add in the berries.

  • I want to customize!  Please do! I add a little turbinado sugar to the top of ours for a bit of crunchy sweet, but I would LOVE to hear what you would do!


Thank you so much for reading and I hope you enjoy them as much as we do at our house. I am already feeling the Fall Baking Bug, are you? What are you looking forward to baking up at your house as the temperatures go down? Pies? Banana Bread? Would love to hear about it! See you soon. ~ Mary DeAngelis
