I love my mother’s banana bread recipe. Every time I eat that bread, it just brings me right back to my childhood! I don’t get it very often. But it is still a staple for my family at holiday celebrations. But I will admit that now that I’m single, I don’t necessarily like to make a whole loaf anymore. It’s just WAAAAYYY too much for just me. And even if I freeze leftovers, it’s still too much! But what about banana bread muffins?
Of course, if you are eating gluten-free and grain-free, wheat won’t do. And I have been hearing about cassava flour and how great it is as a substitute for wheat flour. So I bought a bag to see what the fuss is all about. And I decided to turn my mother’s banana bread into muffins. I also made these sugar-free by using Swerve sweetener.
I was very pleasantly surprised at how great these turned out! So moist and plenty sweet as well. I love to eat them topped with some real butter….yum!
I love to eat these with some fresh, homemade soup. They are a nice complement to most of the great soups I make.
Of course, here is the original recipe for Hawaiian banana bread if you’re interested!

- If you do 6 muffins, you may need to increase baking time by a few minutes.
