These banana blueberry muffins are gluten and dairy free and contain almost no added sugars! They are a great option for breakfast on the go and make for a quick and easy snack during your busy day. Unlike many gluten free baking products, these homemade banana blueberry muffins do not contain starchy flours and highly processed ingredients. It is always important to remember that gluten free doesn’t necessarily equate to being healthy. Many gluten free products contain other starchy, processed white flours that will spike your blood sugar and wreak havoc on your hormones and metabolism.
One of the most important ways to stay on track with your diet is to make sure that you have healthy snacks available when hunger strikes. You can make a large batch of these muffins and keep them in the fridge or freezer so that you always have a healthy option on hand. The walnuts provide a source of healthy omega-3 fats, which are anti-inflammatory and help to keep your cardiovascular system healthy. The blueberries are rich in proanthocyanidins, which have antioxidant qualities and help to strengthen blood vessels. Blueberries and walnuts also help to stabilize blood sugar and contain fiber to keep you feeling full for hours!
Give these muffins a try….I bet that friends and family won’t even guess that they are gluten free.
Enjoy!
