Some days are just born simple – rising up easy from the night, settling in gently upon you. Today started as one of those days and I’m not complaining. The air again has that slightest hint of autumn - enough to put up the windows - and the oven is looking less menacing to me. Simple mornings call for simple breakfasts, and these muffins fit the bill. Don’t be deceived by their appearance – they may come across as dull and uneventful, but what they lack in the looks department is more than made up for in flavor! Sweet and light, they are perfect with coffee or tea, and will ease you into the day…simply. Enjoy!

1 ripe banana, mashed
¼ c. light brown sugar, firmly packed
Egg replacer for 1 egg
1 t. vanilla extract
1 c. GF flour blend
2 t. baking powder
¼ t. salt
½ c. rice milk
¼ c. finely grated unsweetened coconut
You could also add finely chopped nuts or dried fruits if you like ~ approximately ¼ c. would work well.

Preheat oven to 400°F and spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.

In a mixing bowl, mash banana and add brown sugar, stirring until combined. Stir in egg replacer and vanilla. In a separate small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to the banana mixture alternately with the milk, stirring just until combined. Stir in coconut and other add-ins you are using. 

Divide batter evenly among 12 sections of muffin pan, and bake for 12 minutes or until tops spring back when gently pressed.

Do you use your own flour blend for this recipe or do you have a GF/DF/EF flour blend that you buy? (I've only been DF/EF for two weeks so I'm new to this part of it!) Thank you!

Hi, Jenny.

Yes, I did use my own blend. You will find a couple of them here: http://www.glutenfreegigi.com/gf-flour-blends.html on the site.

I do not use purchased blends.

For egg free, there are Egg Alternatives for Vegans or those with egg allergies here: http://www.glutenfreegigi.com/egg-alternatives-for-vegans-or-egg-allergy.html

Most of my recipes are Dairy Free.

I can relate to dealing with flour blends soon after going gluten free. It is downright daunting at times, but you hang in there! It gets much easier!

Browse around the site; I bet you'll find some recipes that you can use right away. Also, I find that using an egg replacer in most recipes works very well. I purchase Ener-G powdered egg replacer and follow directions on the box (you simply mix it with water).

For dairy free living, I use rice milk for things like cereal. For ice creams and richer dishes (like those with a cream base) I use So Delicious Coconut Milk Creamer in Original flavor. It's amazing!

Thanks so much for taking time to visit the site and comment.

Feel free to stop back by if you have questions.

xo,
Gigi
