Instead of throwing your bananas away and wasting them you can create a tasty treat that everyone in your house will love.
Can regular flour be used instead of gluten free?
Yes, either flour option works for this recipe. Gluten free is great for anyone who has a gluten allergy or sensitivity. The taste is exactly the same, you can’t tell a difference. If you prefer to use regular flour I recommend using an organic unbleached flour.
What can these muffins be served with?
Chocolate Chip and Banana Muffins go great with coffee, milk, ice cream, or just by themselves. Eaten for breakfast, a snack, or dessert these little pieces of heaven are so good and almost addictive. You may want to make a double batch because these muffins will go quick.
How ripe do the bananas need to be?
The bananas need to be very soft to be used in this recipe. The banana peel should almost be black in color and at the point where you are ready to throw them away. The texture of the banana will be very soft and almost mushy in consistency, making them perfect in the recipe because they add so much moisture to a muffin that can sometimes be dry.
