Gluten-Free Banana Muffins with Cacao Nibs

These Gluten-Free Banana Muffins with Cacao Nibs are so moist and delicious! These are perfect for breakfast meal prepping!

I’ve been trying to do more meal prepping lately.

Mainly because life is just so busy that sometimes I don’t have time to sit down and eat. Especially in the morning when I’m trying to prepare my workload for the day and getting Gavin off to school.

So on Sundays I spend a little extra time cooking and baking quick meals that I can refrigerate. Then I can just grab and go when I’m hungry.

Most of the time I meal prep smoothies for breakfast, but I had a bunch of bananas that were getting really ripe so I thought – Hey why not make some banana muffins!

In a large bowl I added Bananas, Coconut Oil, Yogurt, Sugar, Eggs, and Vanilla Extract. Using a hand mixer I mixed it until the batter was smooth. I find using a hand mixer is so much easier and it gets a much better consistency.

Then I mixed in Flour, Baking Soda, Salt, Cacao Nibs.

Note: I used King Arthur Paleo Baking Flour (affiliate) but you can use your favorite 1-to-1 gluten free flour blend.

I sprayed the inside of the muffin tin with Coconut Oil because I think it adds a better flavor than any other cooking spray.

Then scooped the batter into each muffin cup and filled it 3/4 of the way full.

Baked it at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, and Boom! Now we have breakfast made for a few days!

My son was raving about these Banana Muffins, and let me tell ya, these days it’s hard to get any kind of feedback from my busy teenager.

Notes

1. If using regular sugar convert to 3/4 cup.
2. Note: These are not super sweet muffins, they have more of a naturally light sweet taste which I find perfect for breakfast.
3. Cacao Nibs are not sweet but have more of a dark chocolate bitter flavor, you can substitute with regular chocolate chips if you want more sweetness.
