Quick and Easy Banana Muffins (Gluten and Grain-Free Options)

A healthy snack with only 3 ingredients!

If you add protein powder it can be a good breakfast option too, for days when you’re on the go.

Heads up: without gluten these muffins won’t rise, but are still healthy and delicious.

Ingredients:

2 ½ cups brown rice flour (1 cup can be hemp or rice protein powder, or for a grain-free option use almond flour)

2 tsp baking powder (optional)

1 ½ cups (about 2 large or 4 small) mashed ripe bananas

Directions:

1. Preheat oven at 350oF
2. Mash bananas in a mixing bowl, then add the dry ingredients to make a nice dough
3. Line a 12-muffin tray with muffin cups or lightly grease the tray with coconut oil
4. Place about 1/3 cup of dough in each muffin cup
5. Bake for 45 minutes (or until muffin surfaces are firm and dry)
6. Allow to cool before removing from tray
