These Sugar-Free Banana Muffins are the perfect guilt-free treat for breakfast or a snack! Made with ripe bananas for natural sweetness, they’re soft, delicious, and perfect for the whole family.
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-count muffin tin. Set it aside.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas and then add eggs, applesauce, and honey. Use an electric mixer to blend everything together until smooth.
In a small bowl, mix together the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract. Stir this into the banana mixture.
In another bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture. Stir just until everything is mixed together (don't over-mix).
Spoon about ¼ cup of batter into each muffin cup, filling them about two-thirds of the way.
Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18-22 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin—if it comes out clean, the muffins are ready.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
