Banana Bread And Blueberry Muffin Recipes


clnewberry1

Recommended Posts

clnewberry1 Contributor

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

3.Pour into oil sprayed loaf pan (or four 2x5 mini loaf pans). Bake at 350 degrees for 60 minutes (45 minutes for mini-loafs) or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

This one has always worked well for me. Hope you enjoy it!

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.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.
    • SilkieFairy
      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
