GLUTEN-FREE BANANA-NUT MUFFINS



Gluten-Free Banana-Nut Muffins image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 16

Cooking or pan spray, for greasing
1 1/4 cups toasted walnuts
1/2 cup amaranth flour (certified gluten-free)
1/2 cup brown rice flour (certified gluten-free)
1/4 cup tapioca flour (certified gluten-free)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup lightly mashed ripe bananas (2 to 3 bananas)
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, separated
Turbinado sugar for sprinkling, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Adjust the oven rack to the center. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with your favorite liners and lightly grease with cooking spray.
  • Finely chop the walnuts in a food processor. Set aside 3 tablespoons for garnish.
  • Combine the remaining ground walnuts, amaranth flour, brown rice flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and baking soda in a large bowl. Add the sugar and work in with your hands.
  • Whisk together the bananas, milk, oil, vanilla and egg yolks in a separate medium bowl.
  • Whip the egg whites on medium-high speed in the bowl of a large stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or in a large bowl of using a hand mixer) until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Fold the banana mixture into the nut-flour mixture until combined (don't fret if your batter has lumps, this means it isn't over-worked). Fold one third of the whipped egg whites into the batter until completely incorporated, then gently fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined (it's alright if the batter is a little streaky).
  • Fill each liner about three-quarters full. Sprinkle with the reserved ground walnuts and turbinado sugar, if using.
  • Bake until the muffins are golden brown and nicely cracked on the top, and a toothpick inserted in the muffins comes out clean, 28 to 30 minutes, rotating halfway through baking. Let cool in the hot muffin tin 3 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

GLUTEN FREE BANANA MUFFINS (OR FRUIT OF YOUR CHOICE)



Gluten Free Banana Muffins (Or Fruit of Your Choice) image

Finally! A moist, gluten free muffin without any odd plant flavors or mysterious zing. The recipe calls for extra finely ground rice flour which at this time I've only found from Authentic Foods. The extra fine grind prevents the gritty texture often found in gluten free baked goods and gives the muffins a light crumb. I've listed individual flour ingredients for bakers with a stocked gluten free pantry but you can cheat and buy this flour blend premixed from Authentic Foods as GF Classics Blend. This recipe is given for a banana nut muffin, but feel free to swap out with the fruit of your choice. The muffins are fairly sweet, you can easily reduce sugar to 1/3 c. if you prefer.
