Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine gluten-free flour, cornstarch, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon. Set the bowl aside.
    A glass bowl of dry ingredients with a whisk.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, mashed bananas, milk, and vanilla.

  • Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and mix until smooth. Fold in mix-ins if adding any, cover the bowl, and set it aside to let the flour hydrate for 30 minutes.

  • Preheat the oven to 410°F (210°C) and line a muffin pan with paper liners. Evenly divide the muffin batter into the paper liners and bake for 7 minutes, then turn down the temperature without opening the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, or with a couple of crumbs.
