Muffins. Love them. We’re all about muffins in our house. Seriously. I make them all.the.time. I’ve made two batches of these banana nut muffins in the last two days. Actually, in the last week and a half, I’ve made 4 (FOUR!) batches of muffins. The other ones were gluten free pumpkin muffins and they’re both SO good.
So I’ve got a little secret to admit: sometimes I’m forgetful. Like REALLY forgetful. So these gluten free banana nut muffins? I originally made them for Food Fanatic almost 3 years ago. THREE YEARS. By the time I remembered I needed to post them, my photography had improved so much I just couldn’t bear to use the old photos.
Since I’ve had a million bananas hanging out on my counter for too long that I really needed to do something with, I decided I absolutely needed to take new photos of these gluten free banana nut muffins and finally get them up on the blog. They’re too good to not share them with you!
I literally had three bunches of bananas, all in various stages of ripeness, none of which were actually getting eaten. Time to bake with them! And something other than banana bread, please.We’ve had SO many banana breads. Plus, muffins bake so quickly they’re easy to make for breakfast on weekends.
These gluten free banana nut muffins are nice and moist, but not too moist, not too much banana, just enough nuts to taste and they’re 0% dense. It’s got everything I’m looking for in a muffin. Enjoy the muffins, I’m off to buy more bananas 😉
Also, FYI: the muffins in the picture are actually made without the nuts this time because my picky 3yo refuses to eat anything with mix-ins at the moment 🙄

NOTES: I use my nightshade free gluten free flour mix in these muffins and I now use Avocado Oil instead of canola oil. For dairy free, use unsweetened coconut milk. For a nut-free version, omit the walnuts.

My kids LOVE banana muffins so these would be a big hit in our house!! I think they would banana muffins for breakfast, lunch and dinner if I let them.
Joyce @ The Hungry Caterpillar says
Ha! I would’ve been like your 3yo when I was a kid. Mom used to put two muffins in the corner of the pan with no blueberries because I didn’t want the blueberries–and she put sprinkles on top!
