I checked my folder of gluten-free recipes and, lo and behold, there was one for Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins. I'd made these before and knew they were good. I had a friend coming by for tea on Friday morning, plus I knew my hubby would enjoy these as well.
Although I don't have celiac disease, I do seem to be somewhat sensitive to gluten. I went gluten free for several years and all of my joint pain disappeared, so I don't think it's just a coincidence. I've found over the last couple of years that I can eat small amounts of wheat without a problem, but over Christmas I ate much more wheat than I should have. I just didn't feel right. So with the new year, I am trying to be much more careful. These muffins are gluten-free and are delicious.
One of the flours called for in this muffin is oat flour. I like oat flour but was all out. So I substituted millet flour. It worked admirably. I also used dark chocolate chips in these muffins. Mm-mmm!
In fact, anything you find at Faithfully Gluten Free will be delicious. Jeanine absolutely has the knack of developing gluten-free recipes that taste wonderful. If you know anyone who is gluten sensitive or does have celiac disease, be sure and share this site with them. It's a lifesaver!
Sharing these muffins, which are perfect with a cup of tea, with Bernideen's Friends Sharing Tea.
Looks good!! We are enjoying a mini spring here. It is in the low 70s. I know that pretty soon the cold air will be back so I am enjoying this respite.
ReplyDeleteIt's in the 40s here today and yesterday was warmer and sunny. A winter storm is in the forecast for tonight and tomorrow with 4 to 8 inches of snow. Sounds like a good time to stay indoors!
DeleteYes - these look wonderful and I love to bake too! Thank you so much for sharing and gluten free is so important for many!
ReplyDeleteThey are very good, Bernideen. Anything one finds on that Faithfully Gluten Free site will be yummy. I have made many of the recipes from there and have been so pleased.
DeleteI too while not suffering with celiac went gluten free a few years ago. I wish I could say my joint pain is gone, but it has helped me a lot with my IBS. I am always looking for good recipes and sites, so thanks so much for posting this! Hope you are having a good week!
ReplyDeleteYes, it helped my IBS as well. It's truly amazing the difference in my joint pain. My hip used to hurt all the time and I took glucosamine to help with it. After a few months of eating gluten free, my hip pain disappeared and I quit taking the supplements. It helped that much!
DeleteIf you go to Faithfully Gluten Free and look around at the recipe archive, you will be thrilled with the recipes Jeanine has developed. They don't taste gluten free at all!
Hope you are having a good week as well!
Mrs. T, I try to find some gluten free options just as a way not to overload my body with wheat. I generally eat rice crackers instead of wheat and rye bread. The muffins look delicious. Thanks for sharing. Sylvia D.
ReplyDeleteYes, I like the rice crackers too. I usually get the Nut Thins. Another thing I sometimes do is buy gluten free waffles, toast them, and spread with peanut butter. It makes a nice snack or breakfast item.
DeleteHope you enjoy the muffins if you try them. I've tried many of the muffin recipes from Faithfully Gluten Free and they are great. The doughnut recipes are also wonderful.
