Tip:

Bananas that are overripe and going brown are best for baking, as they are the sweetest. If your bananas aren’t ripe enough, peel and bake them at 450°F (230°C) on an ungreased baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes.

This one is a “must try” for those who need gluten free baking.

Make It a Casein-Free Vegan Muffin:

Replace the yogurt with plain soy yogurt. Replace the butter with unrefined virgin coconut oil, warmed, or vegan margarine, melted.

Brown Rice Flour Blend

Here’s the recipe for the all-purpose blend Camilla uses in the majority of the recipes in this collection.

  • 2 cups finely ground brown rice flour (500 mL)
  • 2/3 cup potato starch (150 mL)
  • 1/3 cup tapioca starch (75 mL)

In a bowl, whisk together the brown rice flour, potato starch and tapioca starch. Use as directed in the recipes.

Makes 3 cups (750 mL).
