Peanut Butter Banana Choc Chip Muffins

[VydorScope]

Jen- i agree on the flours, and was actually thinking of mixing them, but i am always concerned, as a very new "baker"(if you can call me that), about modifying recipes. I mean, who am i to think i can make a recipe better than it already is?! The only thing i have mastered in the kitchen is pasta! laugh.gif i was surprised not to see xantham gum as well, i thought it was in every gluten free baked good!!

Recipes are guidelines only, and even then only rough starting points!

I keep seeing this thread and it's making me hungry....so I am going to have to make these soon! What do the expert bakers recommend??? Should I use just rice flour or a mix of different types of flours?

Since the recipe calls for white rice flower, thats a good place ot start

Well I made these last night and they are so good! (and I'm usually really bad at baking). The texture is really light and fluffy (I used the white rice flour). I just ate two for breakfast . Will definitely make them again

Thats great! so glad they came out well... i saw u are dairy-free- did u use rice milk? I am not dairy free but was thinking of using it instead of the buttermilk b/c i like the taste

[Mango04]

Yep I used rice milk. It worked really well

Hmm I might try it with rice milk too just for somthing differnt.

I just made this! WOW they are yummy, not the typical gluten-free grit taste either!

This saves me since I have to go to a party and I am brining these (and made some gluten-free chololate moose too) so that I am sure to have somehting safe to eat!

Thanks!

I did modify the recipe SLIGHTLY cause I needed it EF, and I dont own (nor see a reason for) a food processer. But other then that I roughly followed it. LOL My wife gets annoyed cause she says I never make anything the same way twice.

OH and Tymber loved licking the beaters and the bowl!

And come on, who here REALY thinks 1/2 cup of the choloate chips is enought??? Sheesh... It hink I put more like 1 to 1 1/2 cups in. I just dumped the bag till it looked good.

That's exactly what I did when I made these!!! Next time I think I will use even more chocolate. You can't have enough chocolate

SEEE Theres a smart woman!

[mookie03]

Vincent- did u end up using the rice milk? so glad this is a good recipe-- i will have to email my food store to thank them- and encourage them to continue to print recipes!!!

[VydorScope]

Nope used the buttermilk. My wife had created the grocery list around the recipe and I never told her I was considering it. But was a great success! There was _NOTHING_ I could eat at the party, expect what I brought. So I had muffions and moose for dinner! LOL

Vincent,

There is nothing wrong with all courses of your meal being from the chocolate family! I have one question.......you DID wash it down with chocolate milk, didn't you?

Would have if there was any there, but had to settle for diet coke.

I finally made these this morning. I only had one banana and didn't add as much chocolate chips as the recipe called for, added extra peanut butter. They turned out pretty good. Thanks for the recipe.

What type of rice milk did you use. I know rice dream has gluten in it, so I was hoping we might have what you used up here.

Half a cup of chocolate chips is nothing. I would use a couple of cups at least.

Rusla--Can you get Pacific Foods Rice Milk up there? That is gluten-free. I know I've read about a brand in Canada on here--Carrie (carriefaith), posted about it, if I remember correctly.

I just did a quick search--it's Natura--soy, dairy and gluten-free.

[Mango04]

I use Whole Foods brand but if you can't get that, Pacific works really well for baking.

I made these yesterday... so yummy!! I ate way too many. Had another for breakfast today and popped it into the microwave for a few seconds to get the chips gooey

I used almond milk, tastes fine to me.
