"Clean" Gluten-Free Banana Coconut Muffins

Since the holidays (and our decision to move to a 100% GF diet) I have been stocking up on a variety of GF flours to use as replacements for wheat based flours and have ended up with a stock pile of coconut. With so much of this fragrant flour on hand I have started to experiment with recipes that I have discovered through a number of gluten-free websites. This delicious recipe was a great find because it not only meets GF criteria but also Clean Eating.


Ingredients needed:
  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 6 eggs (I substituted 2 of the eggs with egg whites and added just a touch more than 2 eggs worth)
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 2 Tbsp melted butter
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil (melted)
  • 2 Tbsp milk
  • 3 Tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/8 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl blend flour and baking soda.
In a large mixing bowl beat eggs one at a time, then add milk, honey, coconut oil, butter, vanilla, and salt. Continue mixing, then add coconut flour mixture and mashed bananas.
Blend well.
Spoon mixture into a prepared muffin pan. I prefer baking cups to avoid unnecessary oil.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until slightly browned on top.

I altered the recipe slightly as noted above. The muffins did not seem to rise significantly but they were moist and delicious. If you attempt these please let me know how they turned out for you!!
