It always seems that we can have a couple of bananas getting too ripe on the counter. If I do not have an opportunity to use them right away, I place the whole bananas in my freezer. On baking day, I remove 2-3 frozen bananas and let them thaw for 5-8 minutes. They are easy to peel and are then added to the mixing bowl.
Warm gluten-free banana bran muffins with melty chocolate chips is the best snack in the afternoon. If you haven’t noticed, I am a little obsessed with baking gluten-free muffins. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease, the first thing I wanted to bake really well was a muffin.
