Gluten Free Strawberry Banana Streusel Muffins

Gluten Free Living – 2015

Gluten Free Strawberry Banana Streusel Muffins are moist and delicious! Strawberries are one of my favorite fruits. Add them to bananas (another favorite), and presto, you have a wonderful combination of flavors that always works. It works well in pancakes, and it certainly works well in these luscious muffins. Along with strawberry-banana Greek yogurt, these muffins have a lovely streusel topping with walnuts and a vanilla cream icing.

On top of that, I used a gluten free flour with these muffins to have a gluten free option. If you don’t suffer from gluten intolerance, then you can use regular flour instead. Gluten Free Strawberry Banana Streusel Muffins make a superb muffin for holidays. We especially like them for Easter or Mother’s Day. They’re also terrific for special occasion brunches or parties. On top of that, we like to serve them anytime we’re craving muffins or strawberries or both!

When I made breakfast goodies for our church last month, I made seven different kinds of muffins including Blueberry, Raspberry, Apple, Pina Colada, Cherry and Mixed Berry. They were all extremely well received, but my two gluten free versions were snatched up quickly. Strangely enough by folks that had no allergies to gluten! I was amazed. Those who were trying to maintain a gluten free diet loved these muffins as well.

I have to admit this is one of my favorite muffin recipes and I’ve made it almost a dozen times with different combinations of fruit and nuts. And, always with great success. I do recommend one change, however, if you end up using gluten free flour. The baking mix I used was of a finer quality than normal unbleached flour. So to achieve the same consistency as regular flour, I recommend using a gluten free flour that has a full cup for cup equivalency. My personal favorite is Cup4Cup. Otherwise, the muffins won’t have enough flour and will fall flat after baking (or never raise enough). I’ve included that notation in the recipe card below.

If you’re looking for a scrumptious gluten free muffin recipe, Gluten Free Strawberry Banana Streusel Muffins are some of the best you’ll ever eat. The taste is extraordinary, and you’ll have a hard time believing these are even gluten free!

I used these ingredients for the muffins. I do NOT recommend Pamela’s baking and pancake mix. It’s really awful but was the only GF flour available in 2013-2014. My personal favorite GF flour is Cup4Cup. I like the taste and consistency a whole lot better.

Spray muffin tins with cooking spray. Or you can grease tins and flour them with gluten free flour. Spread batter into muffin tins until full.

I used these ingredients to make the streusel topping. Again, I would use almost ANY other GF flour than Pamela’s. My recommendation is Cup4Cup.

Bake muffins in a preheated 425 oven for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 and bake an additional 15-19 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool muffins before adding glaze.

I used these ingredients to make the glaze. Heavy whipping cream works much better than milk in this recipe.

Whisk ingredients to combine. Spoon icing ingredients into a zip lock bag. Zip the bag closed. Cut off a very small tip from one corner. Pipe icing over muffins in any design you desire.

Ingredients
  

STREUSEL TOPPING:

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2/3 cup gluten free flour My personal preference is Cup4Cup (see note below)
  • 1/2 cup walnuts chopped

MUFFINS:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs

  • 3 tbsp. heavy whipping cream or half-and-half
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries diced
  • 1 large banana mashed with a fork

GLAZE:

  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 3-4 tbsp. heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions
 

STREUSEL TOPPING:

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients.
  • The mixture will be crumbly.
  • Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 425°.
  • Spray muffin pans with gluten free cooking spray, or grease and flour tins with gluten free flour.
  • Set aside.

MUFFINS:

  • In a medium bowl combine butter, sugars, eggs, yogurt, vanilla, baking soda, baking powder, salt and whipping cream and mix with an electric mixer until well combined.
  • Stir in GF flour, mashed banana and strawberries gently with a wooden spoon until ingredients are just moistened.
  • Don’t overmix the batter.
  • Spoon the muffin batter into prepared muffin tins all the way up to the top.
  • Crumble the crumb topping over each muffin and press the topping down gently into the muffins.

Notes

NOTE: Be sure to stir yogurt before adding to ingredients.
 
NOTE: Milk will not bring the proper consistency in the glaze. Cream is preferred.
 
NOTE: You may prefer to use a gluten free flour that states you can use it one-for-one to replace regular flour. My personal preference is Cup4Cup. I do NOT recommend using Pamela's baking and pancake mix. It was the only GF flour available when I initially published this recipe. But it does not have the consistency or taste of regular flour. It is a very poor substitute in my opinion.
 
NOTE: If you cannot find a GF flour that states on the package that it has a one-to-one equivalence to regular flour, increase the flour in the muffin batter by 1/2 cup.
 
NOTE: If you wish to use a zip lock bag to pipe the icing, you need to get one that does not have the "stand and fill" bottom. Those kind won't work.
 
NOTE: You can also use regular flour if you don't need to keep the recipe gluten free.

    Hi Teresa, I was scrolling through your recipes looking for gluten free muffins to bring to a brunch I have been invited to where one of the people attending has to eat gluten free. I’m leaning towards this one. I was wondering where you purchase the gluten free flour. Do you find it at the regular grocery store? I am new to gluten free baking. Is Pamela’s your favorite brand? Thanks for your help. These muffins look delicious!

      April 23, 2015 at 10:20 pm

      Hey, Shari, I usually get this at Sprouts, but you can probably find it at Whole Foods or Trader Joes. Even our Kroger carries it. While I used Pamela’s baking and pancake mix, she also has an artisan mix for breads that might be a better choice. I’ve used it making biscuits and a few other things since making that Strawberry banana muffin recipe and I really liked it for baked goods. My niece uses one she likes better than Pamela’s called “Better Batter.” You can check out their website or get it on Amazon, I think. I hope you try it. This recipe is sensational.

        Thanks so much, Teresa! I will check it out and let you know how it goes. We have a Sprouts right around the corner, so that works great for me.

          I made these today, and I absolutely loved them! There were so many good flavors incorporated into them. I took your advice and used the artisan flour blend. They rose beautifully. Thank you so much, Teresa, for a fabulous recipe!

    Your instructions say, “Spray muffin tins with cooking spray with flour. I used Pillsbury.”

    Actually, I didn’t know that Pillsbury made any gluten free cooking spray. The recipe sounds delicious, so I plan to make these muffins soon, but will likely just grease the muffin tin. The original PAM is supposed to be GF.

      You are completely right, Julie. I completely spaced out on that one. Grease and flouring with gluten free flour, or spraying very generously with regular cooking spray is the best way to go.
