Tips for Making the Perfect Gluten-Free Chocolate Muffins:

  • Choose Ripe Bananas: The riper the banana, the sweeter your muffins will be. This also helps in reducing the amount of added sweetener needed.
  • Don’t Overmix: Once you add the dry ingredients, blend just until combined to avoid dense muffins.
  • Use High-Quality Cocoa: A good quality cocoa powder will enhance the chocolate flavour significantly.
  • Check for Doneness: Use a toothpick to check if the muffins are done. If it comes out clean, they’re ready!
