Since we’ve gone gluten free in our family, breakfast is turning out to be hard. I decided to try to adapt my grand-mother-in-law’s banana bread recipe to make a gluten-free banana muffin recipe. We’ve made this recipe numerous times now and they taste great. One can’t tell that they are gluten free. For the ingredients,… Continue Reading
