Gluten Free Healthy Chocolate Chip Orange Muffins

Did someone say "baked goods!"?

I love a good baked good. Whether that's a muffin, danish, croissant, or fresh baked bread.

But what I don't love is the heaviness that accompanies most of those items from sugar and gluten.

So instead of avoiding them, I have been working hard on creating better versions.

Specifically, muffins.

These muffins don't include added sugar, gluten or dairy. But they're fluffy, moist and delicious.

Don't believe me?

Make them for yourself and let me know how they turn out!

form tip

Not all gluten free flours are created equal. I have found the best baked goods come from using King Arthur's gluten free baking flour! Also make sure that the flour you use has leavening agents.

Directions:

  • Bullet point

    Preheat the oven to 350-degrees.

  • Bullet point

    Mix together the banana, eggs, juice, and sweetener until banana is mostly mashed.

  • Bullet point

    Add everything but the chocolate chips and mix until just combined (don't over mix).

  • Bullet point

    Fold in the chocolate chips.

  • Bullet point

    Line muffin pan with liners and pour batter in 2/3 the way up in each.

  • Bullet point

    Bake 25-28 minutes until lightly golden and passes the toothpick test.

  • Bullet point

    Allow to cool and enjoy!

And that's it!

It really is that easy.
