So there are these Gluten Free Carrot cake like muffins from Pressed Cafe that I think about often. They don't always have them when I go, but I always ask for them and get one when they do. They are these somewhat heavy, dense, but moist delicious muffins.
Well today I had some over ripe bananas as I usually do when I by a bunch from the day old rack. Hubs requested Banana Bread, however I came across these scrumptious looking muffins from Simply Beautiful Eating. Of course they were not Gluten Free, so if I made them it would be a bit of an experiment and a gamble. I went for it and they were awesome. I used no real strategy for the mixing, but I usually mix the dry with the dry and the wet with the wet. Do that, combine the wet and the dry then fill up your muffin cups. I used Paperchef brand baking cups. I used some regular size with 1/4 cup of batter and some tulip cups with 1/3 cup of batter. I really like the tulip cups for that bakery style feel. These are beautiful and delicious for entertaining. I also made some with the crumb topping and some without. You save about 75 calories per muffin if you skip it and they are still amazing. You can find the crumb topping on Simplys page linked above.
Bake @ 375 for 25 minutes. Perhaps 5-7 minutes longer for the tulip cups.
