Notes
Gluten free: I think plain oat flour is the easiest gluten free transition! You need xanthan gum to make the muffins stick together
* 2 c oat flour, lightly packed (240g)
* 1 t xanthan gum
Egg allergy: use flax egg
3T flaxmeal
½ c water
make as first step, set aside and allow to thicken. Add when recipe calls for eggs
Dairy free: substitute coconut oil or avocado oil for butter

Tasted these right out of the oven. Delicious! Very moist, and delicious. This is a winner. You would never know it was gluten free.

Fantastic recipe for a tasty banana muffin. Can’t believe it was made without sugar, I am now a believer for using dates to sweeten.
Thank you for a delicious treat.

Love this! I’m a fan of muffins that are not overly sweet and I love the use of dates in the recipe. Really well balanced where I can eat something sweet but still have something healthy.
