Banana Bread Muffins {Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free}
A tasty and healthy snack perfect for kids! These banana bread muffins are gluten-free, dairy-free, and made up in just one bowl.
As a busy mom of two, I find that the easiest way to keep kids happy is to be on my game in the snack department.
This means that I am always whipping up real-food, healthy snacks to keep on hand...and getting the kids in the kitchen to help me!
Because these gluten-free muffins are made in one bowl, it was easy to get the kids on the counter helping me pour and stir. This is a great way to get the kids in the kitchen learning about food and where it comes from!
Healthy Snacks For Busy Days
These easy muffins made the perfect snack for days when you’re running out the door. Loaded with both nutrients and flavor, banana bread muffins will help keep you (or the kids) fueled on the go.
Sugar In The Banana Bread Muffins
Because these gluten-free muffins are banana-based, they needed next to no sugar. There is only 1.5 tablespoons of coconut sugar for the whole batch!
Wildly Organic Coconut Sugar is an all-natural sugar and made from collecting sweet sap from the top of the coconut tree.
You’ll love these because they’re not too sweet and not too processed.
Can You Freeze The Banana Muffins?
Yes! These banana bread muffins are delicious ready-made or out of the fridge. Whip up a double batch and pull them out as you need them to thaw in the fridge.
I personally enjoyed them out of the fridge, but my kiddos liked them best at room temperature. So, place on the counter if that’s the case until they’re thawed.
These healthy, gluten-free muffins are perfect for:
- Easy, on-the-go snacks
- Make-ahead breakfast and pared with fruit
- All on their own or “just because”
Healthy Fats For Healthy Bodies
These banana muffins contain both Wildly Organic Coconut and Almond Flour as well as Wildly Organic Almond Butter-wonderful, healthy fats. Not only does this help keep the muffins gluten-free but these fats all provide flavor and satiety.
Loading up on healthy fats will help you feel full and nourished as well as keeping the muffins as nutrient-dense as possible.
