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
