Banana Blueberry Muffins

These banana muffins are deliciously moist!  I think the blueberries add a delicious flavor, but they would be great without them too.







2 cups featherlight flour
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 bananas, mashed
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup applesauce
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup frozen blueberries, chopped

Preheat oven to 375ยบ.  Combine GF flour, xanthan gum, sugar, soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large bowl.  In a separate bowl mix together mashed bananas, oil, applesauce, eggs and vanilla.  Stir until well blended, then stir into dry ingredients until moistened.  Gently stir in blueberries.

Spoon batter into muffin cups that have been coated with cooking spray.  Bake for 12 - 15 minutes or until golden brown.  Makes 12 - 16 muffins.

Note:  You can substitute plain yogurt for applesauce
