Ingredients

For the Muffin Batter

  • 1 1/2 cups gluten free flour blend see notes
  • 1/2 tsp xanthan gum omit if your flour blend contains it
  • 1/2 cup 49 g gluten free old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup 107 g granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup 50 g light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 cup mashed banana about 2 medium
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup Avocado oil or neutral oil of choice
  • 2/3 cup milk see notes for dairy free

For the Streusel Topping:

  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1/4 cup 50 g light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon 10 g gluten free flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum omit if your flour blend contains it
  • 1/3 cup 34 g gluten free old-fashioned oats

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray a 12 cup muffin tin with non-stick spray and line with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, xanthan gum, oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Break up any big brown sugar clumps as necessary.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Whisk in the mashed banana, vanilla, oil, and coconut milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well until combined. Divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups and set aside while you make the topping. The batter needs to sit at least 10-15 minutes before baking.
  • To make the streusel topping, mix together the 2 tablespoons melted butter, brown sugar, xanthan gum, and oats in a small bowl. Mix until all ingredients are moistened. Sprinkle the topping over the muffins, dividing evenly between all 12.
  • Bake the muffins at 400 degrees for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a metal rack. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container up to 3 days.

Notes

  1. I used my Nightshade-Free Gluten Free Flour Blend in this recipe. 1 1/2 cups of my blend weighs 202 grams.
  2. If you use a flour blend that contains xanthan gum, omit what's called for in the recipe.
  3. For dairy free muffins, I use unsweetened coconut milk beverage in place of the milk. In place of the melted butter, use vegan butter or refined coconut oil.
