To begin making these Gluten Free Banana Muffins I dumped some Golden Flavour Crisco Shortening, eggs, almond milk and vanilla extract into a large mixing bowl.

I used an electric hand mixer to beat these ingredients until no large lumps remained.

Next I added in some sugar and a bit of meringue powder.

Using the electric hand mixer again, I beat the ingredients until they were smooth.

Then I added in Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Baking Flour, baking soda and salt.

I used a large wooden spoon to stir the dry ingredients in until a stiff batter was formed.

Next I put 4 medium over ripe bananas into a small bowl and mashed them up with a fork.

Then I scraped the mashed bananas into the batter and folded them in with the large wooden spoon until just combined.

Using a large scoop, I dropped the batter into a muffin pan that had been sprayed with cooking spray.

Now the muffins were ready to be placed in a preheated 350F oven and baked for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center came out clean.

After allowing them to cool in the pan for a few minutes I flipped the banana muffins onto their sides to continue cooling.

Glulten Free Banana Muffins are a nice snack or breakfast option paired with your morning coffee or tea.
