GLUTEN FREE BANANA MUFFINS

       These banana muffins are amazing!!!  As we continue on our gluten free journey I am constantly creating new recipes.  This is one of those recipes!! I originally had followed a recipe in a book but continued to tweak it and make it my own.  Sometimes I like to cut the amounts of fat and sugar in recipes or use a better version of a sweetener or fat to make the recipe healthier.  My kids love these!! I make a big badge , leave them wrapped on the counter and the kids can eat them for breakfast or snack.  These are so good you would never imagine that they weren't made the traditional way and that they are gluten free.  I sometimes throw in a handful of extra dark chocolate chips for an extra treat!!
    I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!! Enjoy!!
