Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 2 cups gluten-free, all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup rolled oats, not quick cooking
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon xanthan gum (optional – only if flour blend does not have it in list of ingredients)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups mashed, very ripe bananas (about 3 medium bananas)

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F with the rack in the middle position. Lightly coat a regular 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray; reserve.
  2. Put the flour, oats, both sugars, baking powder and soda, salt, xanthan gum (if using), and cinnamon into a mixing bowl. Mix on Speed 1 until fully combined, about 30 seconds.
  3. In a separate, large mixing bowl, mix the remaining ingredients on Speeds 2 to 3 until smooth and creamy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the dry ingredients and mix on Speed 2 until fully combined.
  4. Spoon evenly into prepared muffin cups. Bake in the preheated oven for about 16 to 18 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean
