GF Banana muffins using GF King Arthur flour








This came out yummy, but I did change a few things from the recipe on the back of the package. Note to self only eat 1/2 a muffin at time since bananas trigger facial sweating for me ;-)

2 teaspoons of baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar (could do less)(I prefer 1/4)
1 and 3/4 cup of the gf King Arthur flour (called measure for measure flour)
1/2 cup vegetable oil (can do part applesauce and part oil instead)
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 large mashed bananas

1. Preheat oven 375 and line muffin tin with paper cups or whatever.
2. Whisk together dry ingredients.
3. Add the wet ingredients with bananas to the dry mix
4. Divide among 10 muffin cups
5. Bake about 20 minutes until center springs back when lightly touched
