These Gluten Free Banana Walnut Muffins are so stinkin good and easy to make! Flourless muffins are a go to in my house, they are loaded with healthy fats and ingredients that you will likely already have on hand. These muffins only take 10 minutes to prep which means they are a great addition to your weekly meal prepping! I can’t forget to mention, kids love them too.

What Makes These Gluten Free Banana Muffins So Good?

They are super simple to make!
Secondly, they made for a great snack, breakfast, or even dessert.
Third, these gluten free muffins freeze super well which means that I love to batch make them. I like to make 3-4 batches and freeze them.

Gluten Free Banana Walnut Muffin Ingredients:

Nut butter-Any kind will work! I love using almond butter for this recipe.
Eggs-To help bind everything together.
Flax seeds-This adds some extra fiber and in addition to the eggs helps bind everything together,
Applesauce-This is a binder too, and it helps sweeten these gluten free banana muffins!
Banana-For the banana flavor.
Maple syrup-To add some sweetness.
Walnuts-For a nice nutty crunch!
Apple cider vinegar-To help these muffins rise.
Cooking oil spray-To prevent the muffins from sticking.

How To Make:

First, preheat the oven to 350.
Next, place all ingredients in a bowl together and mix well.
If you are using paper muffin liners, line the cupcake tray with the paper liners. If you are using a silicone muffin tray, spray the pan with cooking oil spray.
Now, divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups.
Bake for 25 minutes.

What Kind Of Muffin Tray Should I Use?

I love these silicone ones HERE because the muffins literally just pop out and they require minimal clean up.

Can I Freeze These Muffins?

Yes! I love to batch bake them and freeze them to use at a later time. I find that if you freeze the cupcake papers, they will collect a ton of water so allow the muffins to cool prior to freezing them and remove the liners.
