Quick Bread Recipe ⟶ Gluten-Free Banana Walnut Chia Muffins

This is my favorite gluten-free muffin recipe, very healthy and delicious! Can have as a snack or for a quick and easy breakfast.

Ingredients

• ⅓ cup water
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 ¾ cups gluten-free all purpose baking flour
• ¾ cup coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup plain fat-free yogurt
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup mashed ripe bananas
• ¾ cup chopped walnuts

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper liners.
2. Mix water and chia seeds together in a small bowl; set aside until chia seed gel is thickened, about 10 minutes.
3. Combine flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Whisk chia gel, yogurt, oil, egg, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture just until batter is moistened. Fold bananas and walnuts into batter. Fill muffin cups 2/3-full with batter.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 22 to 25 minutes. Cool muffins for 5 minutes in the tin before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
