Preparation

Step 1

1. In medium sized bowl, combine flour, xanthan gum, baking powder & salt. Set aside.

2. In larger bowl, mix butter & sugar until light and fluffy. Add in egg & mix until well combined. Next, add in milk and mix again until incorporated as well. Do the same with the mashed bananas (reserve the diced). Mix well.

3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix until just combined. Fold in the diced bananas. Be delicate. Like a little lady. Don’t mash the poor diced bananas.

4. Either grease or line 12 muffin cups. Fill each 3/4 full.

5. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until a tester inserted into the center of the middle muffin comes out clean.
