Banana Bread And Blueberry Muffin Recipes


clnewberry1

Recommended Posts

I would like a good banana bread and blueberry muffin recipe. I have tried several with blah results.

I tried a good Blueberry muffin mix from authentic foods that was great but very expensive $7.50 here. I went to there website to see if I could get the basic recipe but no such like. I am not sure what I was thinking since they make a mix.

I tried a coconut flour blueberry recipe but it didn't turn out very good. I have tried a banana bread using almond flour but it didn't turn out well either.

Thanks,

Crystal

I like this one. It has a very nice soft, moist texture. I sub, almond meal for the flax, sorghum for the millet and omit the lemon. Open Original Shared Link

I tried this one once so far b/c its egg free. I made muffins instead of bread. They bake about 20 minutes. Super good! I subbed the arrowroot starch for cornstarch, and the rice flour for sorghum. I will making them again soon.

Karina has great recipes and may have a blueberry muffin recipe you could try.

I just checked, they are called blueberry sour cream muffins. FYI-She uses Pamela's baking mix.

I have an AWESOME recipe for banana-blueberry muffins on my gluten free recipe archive blog:

The recipe is originally from Karina; she made a banana-blueberry bundt cake that's gluten-free, dairy-free and egg-free:

Gluten free Banana Bread

1-1/3 cup gluten-free flour

3/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/4 cup vegetable or canola oil

2/3 cup sugar

3 large eggs, lightly beaten

1 cup ripe bananas, mashed

1/2 cup pecans, chopped (optional, can sub chocolate chips. See note first)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a loaf pan. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking soda & powder. In a large bowl, mix the oil and the sugar. Add the flour mixture to the oil mixture and beat until blended. Gradually beat in eggs. Fold in bananas and pecans. Pour batter into loaf pan and bake for 1 hour, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool on a rack. It's so easy!

NOTE: When putting in the chocolate chips, I put a piece of wax paper in the bottom of the pan before buttering it, pour the batter in and then sprinkle the chips over the batter. Otherwise the chips all fall to the bottom and make the bread stick to the pan.

I haven't tried this recipe yet, but it looks good.

Gluten free muffins

Makes 6-8 large muffins

2 cups gluten-free flour mix

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

3 Tbsp oil (optional)

3-4 Tbsp maple syrup (optional)

2 mashed ripe bananas

1 cup berries of any kind

1 Tbsp gluten-free flour or corn starch

1 cup milk

1 tsp lemon juice

Preheat oven to 170 Celsius/ 340 Fahrenheit.

Combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl, mash the bananas, add the lemon juice to the milk in a separate bowl and set all three of them aside in separate bowls for a couple of minutes.

Add the milk into the dry ingredients, mix, then add the oil, syrup, mashed bananas and mix everything together. Put the blueberries into a separate bowl and mix 1 Tbsp of gluten-free flour into them gently. Add 1 Tbsp of the batter into a muffin paper, and then add 1 Tbsp blueberries on top of the batter, and finally add 1 Tbsp of batter on top the berries. Do this until you have filled all of your muffin papers.

Bake for 30-40 minutes.

i use Pamela's baking mix for banana bread and it almost always turns out perfect. i use a pan slightly wider than a traditional loaf pan to make the loaf bake more quickly as it never seemed to bake all the way through before

blueberry muffin recipe i found about ten minutes ago.: (i planon giving a test as soon as i have gotten a chance to visit the store

I made really good banana muffins the other day; all i did was substitute the flour called for in a traditional recipe with Gluten Free Pantry's All Purpose Flour. so easy; I didn't have to measure bits of other flours, and they came out great.

I made this earlier today and just tried a slice--it's delicious! I was looking for a recipe for banana bread that did not use xanthan gum, as it doesn't always agree with me.

I used light olive oil and chopped walnuts. Because ovens vary, mine was perfectly done in 50 minutes. They would also make great muffins--I made it in a loaf pan since I was all out of the little paper muffin cups :D

Thanks for helping me use up my two over-ripe bananas! :)

These are the absolute BEST blueberry muffins I have ever had. I make them regularly for "mixed" occasions (gluten-free and gluten eaters) and they always disappear quickly! Aside from the blueberries, there is nothing nutritional about them though!

1/4 cup sugar

2 tablespoons shortening

1 egg

1/4 cup oil

1/2 cup potato starch

3/4 cup cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum

1 tablespoon baking powder

2/3 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring

1 1/2 cups blueberries

topping:

1 tablespoon sugar

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Preheat oven to 350.

In med. bowl cream together sugar and shortening. Add remaining ingredients except berries and mix well. Be sure there are no lumps. Gently fold in fresh blueberries.

Pour batter in greased muffin tins or tins lined with muffin cups. Fill about 2/3 full. Sprinkle with sugar/cinnamon mixture.

Bake 20-23 minutes until toothpick comes out clean and tops are lightly browned.

Enjoy!

Looks great! Do you think I'd be able to sub tapioca starch for the corn starch? We're trying to avoid corn as best as we can. Thanks.

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
