Gluten free, sugar free, strawberry banana muffins

I seem to know a lot of people who have to eat a gluten free diet, I can't imagine what that must be like but it inspired this recipe, I don't know if I could do it all the time, but with a muffin this good well then hmmm.


Strawberry Banana Muffins

11/4 cups rice flour
1/4 cup potato starch
1/4 cup tapioca flour
1/2 tsp xanthum gum (it's a binding agent)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
11/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt ( I use sea salt)
1/2 cup butter softened
1/3 cup of sucanet
1 egg and 1 egg white
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup of your milk prefered (I used almond milk)
2 bananas, peeled
1 1/2 cups stemmed and coarsely chopped fresh strawberries.


 In large bowl, sift together all dry ingredients, stir to mix. In a seperate bowl cream together butter and sucanet until smooth, beat in eggs and add vanilla, and milk, stirring well. Mixture will be very lumpy. Mash banana and fold them with strawberries into wet ingredients, then mix wet into dry to form a very lumpy batter.

Spoon 1/3 cup of batter into each muffin cup. Bake 15 mins, then turn muffin tin to ensure even baking and bake another 15 mins...all together it will be 30 mins baking. Cool on cooling rack and serve warm or room temp.


Feel free to pair up with my pumpkin spice latte.
