Gluten Free Banana Pecan Muffins Food

BANANA MAPLE PECAN BREAD MUFFINS (GLUTEN-FREE)

Steps:

• Combine bananas with 1/3 cup maple syrup and 1/2 cup pecans. Mix well and set aside.
• Combine flour, xanthan gum, sugar, baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and dry buttermilk. Alternatively if you do not have premixed pumpkin pie mix, use equal parts cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Combine eggs, oil, and water. Pour into the center of the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon just until dry ingredients are incorporated.
• Use a spatula or knife to make three or four "troughs" in the dough/batter. Spoon banana mixture into troughs. Gently fold bananas into dough with knife.
• Spoon dough into muffin cups. Top with pecan-maple mixture. If using cream cheese frosting, coat tops of muffins after they are baked, not before.
• Bake at 375 for 20 minutes. Makes about 18 good sized muffins.
