Gluten Free Caramel Banana Muffins

If you miss really good bakery style muffins than these Gluten Free Caramel Banana Muffins are a must make! They are a new favorite at my house!

I always know that a gluten free recipe is a success when my husband and son love it. They are not gluten free. They don’t have any food allergies or issues. They can eat what they want when they want.

When they love a recipe I know I have it right because it means that it tastes just like the real version does.

These gluten free caramel banana muffins are an example of that. They loved them. My husband especially love them. He said they were one of the best muffins that I had made. I love hearing that!

Adjusting recipes to gluten free takes time and work. It is not always easy to get it just right. So I love knowing that the time and effort was worth it.

The thing that takes these banana muffins over the top is the icing. Don’t skip it. Yes, they are a really good gluten free banana muffin. The icing though makes it even better. It puts the caramel in these gluten free caramel banana muffins.
