{Gluten-Free} Banana Muffins with chocolate & peanut butter chips

I'm not sure who has suffered more since the whole Gluten Allergy diagnosis.  Me, with the actual allergy, deprived of breads and muffins, or Mr. Devilish Dish who has suffered through the trial and error of gluten-free recipe creations.  One of the biggest hurdles I've faced in gluten-free baking is texture and moisture.  Cookies and breads sometimes come out dry and grainy.  I've trouble-shooted and tried and erred and looked for all kinds of tips and tricks.  It dawned on me that a gluten-free treat with the addition of banana would tackle the dry texture issue.  A simple quick-bread muffin, with a few chocolate and peanut butter chips for a little sweet flavor.  They turned out perfectly.  Bonus, I had a freezer full of ripe bananas waiting to be baked.  Bonus, Mr. Devilish Dish loves banana anything and got to enjoy and a really good muffin with a really good texture.  And...Bonus!  I got to enjoy a gluten-free treat that doesn't taste gluten-free! 
Moist and tasty.  You'll never know they are GF!
Bake until light golden.  Don't over bake,
You don't want them to become dry.  

A lightly sweet muffin, with a lovely banana flavor.

Just a few chocolate and peanut butter chips...
Ideal for breakfast or a snack!
Especially when you're craving
the bread you miss so much!

Check out the interior.  Light and moist

My new favorite Gluten-Free Recipe!

{Gluten-Free} Banana Muffins with chocolate & peanut butter chips
