  7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full
  8. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clea
  9. Remove the tin from the oven and let the muffins cool for five minutes before transferring them to a wire rack

Notes

Use bananas that are heavily spotted with black for the highest sugar content and best moisture.

Measure flour using the spoon and level method to avoid dense muffins.

Ensure eggs are at room temperature to help them emulsify properly with the fats.

Let the batter rest for 10 minutes before baking to allow the gluten-free flour to hydrate.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for three days or freeze for up to three months.
