Chocolate-Banana Muffins How to make Gluten-Free Chocolate Banana Muffins1 (2)Gluten-Free is the new buzz word, yeah? I see and hear gluten-free everywhere I go – Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest..everywhere. And of course a big topic of conversation among my health freak friends too.

And, as always, I’m averse to change and it would take a lot of coaxing to make me try something new. And even if I would try something that lies out of my comfort zone, 8 times out of 10, I end up not liking it.

But but, I gave in to the almond meal or almond flour. Mainly because I actually like almonds and I had no problems of trying to bake with it. First I made a banana bread with the almond meal and even though it was not as fluffy as I would have preferred, it tasted great nevertheless and that served as my husband’s breakfast bread for a week.

Now that I was hooked, I wanted to bake more with almond meal and I carried on to chocolate banana muffins. The muffins were DELICIOUS. My 4-year-old liked them too and that made me happy. The best part is that these yummy Chocolate-Banana Muffins can be your go-to breakfast muffins if you are in a rush and don’t have time for breakfast. They taste great with black coffee and don’t forget, they are – Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, Dairy-Free and Paleo.

These Chocolate-Banana muffins are so easy to make as well. The bananas that I used were very ripe and very sweet, so I added less sugar. You can adjust sugar as per your taste.

INGREDIENTS:
  • 2 overripe bananas finely mashed
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup yogurt (use 2 eggs if you eat eggs)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil or coconut oil (I used olive oil)
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 3 TBSP coconut flour or rice flour (I used coconut flour)
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips. I used Ghirardelli brand
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt

METHOD:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a large bowl, mash the bananas, add the sugar and stir.
  • Add in the eggs (or yogurt) and oil and stir until well combined.
  • Add the almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt and stir just until combined and then stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Spoon the batter into the muffin liners and bake for like 18 to 20 minutes

I’m scrappy, weird and goofy. I’m a snob when it comes to a LOT of things.., Mainly – coffee, wine and chocolates. I laugh loud and yell louder. I run fast, but walk slow. I love walking long walks with a hot mug of coffee held tight between my hands. I have lonely eyes and a kind heart. I forgive but rarely forget. I remember the silliest of things and forget important matters. I love to run, read, cook and entertain. I draw inspirations from anything and everything aesthetic. There are numerous people who have and still continue to enrich my life in many good ways. I will remain indebted to them – Always. My dad is my biggest fan when it comes to cooking. I could see his eyes light up every time I serve something. My mom’s agility and affectionate nature that reflects on her food is something I’m still trying to master. Travel fascinates me amongst other things. Leave me in Venice and I would get lost in its timeless beauty – The canals. The piazzas. The art. The espresso. Leave me in NYC and I would tirelessly walk the length and breadth of the city (after all, There is always something open 24 hours a day). Through this blog, I am hoping to bring in my passion and love for a few things – Cooking, Travel, Kids, Coffee, Clothes and in the interim learn more myself. Hope I am able to do justice to my PASSION.

  8. Did you call me a freak? Ha, I am gluten free because of Acid Reflux anyway Almond Meal is insanely good to cook with right? I have experimented a lot with gluten free flours and I use gelatin instead of the usual binder they recommend. Another little tip is adding gluten-free pudding mix it makes baked goodies so soft.
