Gluten-Free Blueberry Banana Muffins
These gluten-free blueberry banana muffins are simple to make, don’t require a mixer, and use minimal ingredients that you’ll find in most gluten-free kitchens.
This gluten-free blueberry banana muffin recipe is a spin off of my gluten-free banana muffins published in my cookbook. I recently improved the recipe and modified it to use Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour because we use Bob’s Red Mill products in most of our cooking and baking. In this recipe the Gluten-Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour delivers a fluffy, scrumptious gluten-free muffin.
I should mention that this recipe is naturally dairy-free and nut-free, and you can use coconut sugar in place of the sugar to make these gluten-free blueberry banana muffins refined sugar-free.
You can skip down to the recipe if you want but I encourage you to read through this post. It has some tips and tricks for making the best gluten-free blueberry banana muffins that I think you’ll want to see.
Tips for making the best gluten-free blueberry banana muffins:
- Use fresh ingredients and always check labels.
- Read the recipe before you begin.
- Ingredients at room temperature work best.
- You can use fresh or frozen blueberries.
- Let your oven site for 5 minutes after it preheats. This helps the temperature to even out in the oven.
- Use overripe bananas.
If you make any substitutions other than what I’ve tested with you are doing so on your own but please feel free to leave a question in the comment section below if you need help with anything.
Egg-Free Substitution
The one egg in this gluten-free blueberry banana muffin recipe plays an important role in the texture. If you can’t have eggs you can use a flax egg, 3 tablespoon of water + 1 tablespoon ground flax seed. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes before using.
Working with Gluten-Free Flours
When working with or measuring gluten-free flour, spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level. Do not scoop your measuring cup into the gluten-free flour. The best method really is to weigh the gluten-free flour but I don’t have the ingredient weights for all my recipes yet.
Silicone baking pan vs. metal baking pan
I have a silicone muffin baking pan and a metal muffin baking pan. I find that the silicone pans take longer to heat up, causing the muffins to take a little longer to cook. For these gluten-free blueberry banana muffins I recommend using a metal muffin baking pan. With both types of pans you’ll want to use paper liners when making this gluten-free blueberry banana muffins recipe.
Steps for making gluten-free blueberry banana muffins
- Preheat your oven.
- Line a 12-serving muffin pan with paper liners; set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl combine your ingredients.
- Spoon the batter evenly into each cupcake pan, about ⅔ full and bake.
That’s it! Super easy, right? It takes less than 10 minutes to get these gluten-free muffins in the oven. For detailed steps and ingredients consult the recipe below.

Kindle says
Holy moly these are delicious! Great recipe!! I used coconut palm sugar + maple syrup instead of applesauce. The banana flavor is perfectly mixed throughout and the blueberries were so juicy that they dripped down the sides.
chrystal says

Christine says
Any suggestions to replace applesauce?
chrystal says
Hi Christine,
You can use more banana, about a half of a medium bananas worth. The applesauce adds moisture and helps deliver the texture. I hope that helps.

Christine says

Christine says

Dakota says
I’ve tried your chocolate paleo muffin recipe and loved it so I can’t wait to give these a try! Can I use almond flour instead of the Bob’s red mill one to one flour? (I don’t have that on hand)
chrystal says
Hi Dakota,
I have a recipe that might work for you. I just made Paleo Banana Muffins recently, you can add blueberries to it instead of chocolate chips. I also have a Paleo Blueberry Muffin recipe that uses similar ingredients. https://www.glutenfreepalate.com/paleo-banana-muffins/
