Gluten-Free Pecan Muffins
Dare I say, this is one of the best gluten-free muffins I've ever made! They're tender, ridiculously moist and possess the perfect amount of sweetness I expect from a breakfast muffin. Not all muffins are created equal and let me tell you- this one reigns supreme. These healthy treats are full of fiber, potassium and magnesium. Bananas not only bring a wealth of nutritional punch to party they are bring their sweet flavor too. I can't get enough of bananas, left to my own devices I would eat them all day every day.
These tasty bites are a sure-fire indulgence that come with absolutely no FOMO. Serve them to your friends without telling them they are gluten-free, they'll never know. And as always, they are also dairy-free! Cleaning eating isn't boring eating so go ahead and splurge, I might have had three at breakfast!
