We bought way too many bananas over the holidays. Day 5 and we still had five bananas, ripe as can be, so I decided to put them to use. So here you go — vegan gluten-free banana muffins — straight out of the oven!<\/p>\n

Super delicious and super easy, this recipe for vegan gluten-free banana muffins is naturally sweetened with ripe bananas, you know the ones, nobody wants to eat because they are brown and spotted, and frankly don’t look all that appetizing. Ugly-looking speckled brown bananas are the BEST for banana bread. They are super sweet. Which is exactly why you’ll never catch me eating one.<\/p>\n

Are green bananas healthier?<\/h2>\n

I am one of those green-banana lovers. Green bananas, my friends, are perfect bananas. Green underripe bananas have more resistant starch, which are starch molecules that resist<\/em> being digested by our body, and stimulate the good bacteria<\/a> in our intestines. It ends up functioning kind of like fiber, so to say. Meaning, it promotes fat burning, helps you feel fuller longer and reduces hunger. It is exactly this starch that changes to simple sugar as the banana ripens, which makes yellow bananas and those spotted brown bananas taste sweeter.<\/p>\n

AND…since green bananas would not taste good in these gluten-free banana muffins, I’m using the brown ones as the perfect sweetener…plus a little pure maple syrup.<\/p>\n

Besides being gluten-free and vegan, these muffins are super moist and flavorful thanks to the mashed banana. I used buckwheat flour and quinoa flour but I bet you could use a combination of other gluten-free flours or even \u201cflours\u201d like almond meal to keep this recipe GF-friendly. Why gluten-free? I can and do eat grains containing gluten, but I have a few friends that unfortunately can’t. So this recipe is for them. Yes, you know who you are. You’re welcome. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

These muffins are a great option for a quick breakfast on-the-go, a post-workout snack or a something to munch on between meals. So delicious and healthy, these muffins can really do no wrong. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
