Gluten Free Banana Muffins with Stevia



Here's a guilt free, sugar free muffin recipe that I can vouch for. Brad couldn't even tell that it was gluten and sugar free. I think the only difference between a regular muffin and this muffin is that this muffin is slightly denser and doesn't puff up as much. Taste-wise, it's addictive.

1 1/4 cups Red Mill Gluten Free flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 very ripe bananas, mashed (3/4 cup)
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 tsp pure Stevia powder (KAL brand)
1/3 cup apple sauce (unsweetened)
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
cinnamon, dried coconut (optional)


Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F. Line muffin cups with liners.

Whisk together flour and salt in a bowl. Whisk together bananas, butter, stevia, apple sauce, egg, vanilla in a large bowl until combined well, then fold in flour mixture until flour is just moistened.

Divide batter among lined muffin cups. Sprinkle with cinnamon and coconut (optional). Bake until muffins are puffed and a toothpick comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Transfer muffins to a rack and cool slightly.
