Gluten-Free PB & Banana Muffins
Table of Contents
Inspiration
Here is a delicious, flourless, gluten-free muffin recipe that uses carob to impart a rich chocolatey flavor.
HEALTHY CHOCOLATE ALTERNATIVE:
Carob is a legume from the seedpods of a flowering tree native to the Mediterranean and Middle East. It is naturally gluten-free, caffeine-free, richer in calcium and fiber, and lower in saturated fats than cocoa powder, making it an excellent substitute for cocoa powder in any recipe.
GLUTEN SENSITIVITIES:
Not all baking powders are gluten-free. Some may contain wheat starch, which contains gluten. Ensure the baking powder you buy is specifically labeled “gluten-free.”
Ingredients
Muffin Mixture
- 6 (brown) bananas
- 2 cups peanut butter
- 4 eggs
- 4 tbsp carob powder
- 2 tsp gluten-free baking powder
Toppings
- 1 cup carob chips
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
- Sea salt flakes
Preparations
- Preheat oven to 365 degrees.
- Combine muffin mixture ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
- Scoop into prepared muffin trays (cooking spray or a touch of oil).
- Add toppings (we used carob chips, pumpkin seeds, and sea salt flakes).
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- Let muffins sit for a few minutes, then enjoy 🙂
Tips
- Add any seeds or nuts you like; they’re gluten-free!
