Are you looking for a quick and easy bake to make for the kids get home afterschool? Or need a snack that you can grab on the go that will leave you feeling satisfied? Then you will love my gluten free banana chocolate chip muffins.

The recipe is quick and easy to follow and my kids love to bake these too! I’ve treid many muffin recipes over the years teaching food and nutrition and I can say hand on heart that this is the best recipe ever.

You would never know that these were gluten free! As always my recipes use UK measurements.

Cooking with Kids?

This is a great recipe to make with children. Get them to help with the weighing and measuring. Kids love to help mashing the banana and mixing up the cake too. Just ensure caution is taken when placing in and taking out of the oven.

Is it Vegan?

This recipe is suitable for people following a gluten free diet but is not suitable for a vegan diet. To make is suitable you will need to ensure that your margarine and chocolate chips are dairy free and swap the two eggs for two flax seed eggs that can be made by mixing two tablespoons of ground flax seed with 4 tablespoons of water and leaving to soak for five minutes before using just as you would the eggs.

Do I need any specialist equipment?

For your gluten free banana chocolate chip muffins I would recommend:

A masher for the bananas is preferable, but can be substituted for a fork.
A muffin tin is required as you need deeper cups otherwise the mixture will overflow
Paper muffin liners are needed but you can also use reusable silicone liners or a square of greaseproof paper for each muffin hole pressed into the tin with a rolling pin to shape it.
