Teresa Ambra
These lovely muffins have a tropical flavor featuring mangos and coconut. Gluten free flour and coconut sugar make them a healthier choice than most muffins. They're perfect for company or holiday breakfasts.

  • 1 nut chopper if nuts are not previously chopped

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups Cup4Cup Gluten free flour (or use 1 1/2 cups regular flour)
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar or use regular sugar
  • 2 tsp. aluminum free baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. pink Himalayan sea salt
  • 3 large over-ripe bananas mashed

  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

  • Adjust temperature to 350°.

  • Cool.

Notes

NOTE: The secret to having muffins that raise perfectly every time is to start the baking at a high temperature (425°), and then lower the temperature to 350° after 5 minutes. This allows the muffins to raise properly. If you bake muffins at a steady 350° for the whole length of baking time, they will usually be flat on top.
 
NOTE: My personal preference is to use a gluten free flour that is not Pamela's Baking Mix. I used Cup4Cup which provided great texture so the muffins turned out light and fluffy,
