For a truly delicious treat, these Gluten-Free Banana Apple Muffins are a must-try. They’re moist, light, and tender—packed with juicy apples and naturally sweetened with bananas. And let’s be honest, is there anything more comforting than a cinnamon-spiced muffin?

Unlike most sweet snacks loaded with sugar and butter, these dairy-free muffins are made with healthy fats and just a touch of coconut sugar, making them a much healthier (but still totally satisfying)!

The best gluten-free banana apple muffin recipe!

I can safely say that this is probably one of the best muffin recipes. This gluten-free banana apple muffin is not only incredibly delicious but has plenty of nutrient-packed ingredients. This recipe is made with two fruits, nuts, olive oil, healthy sweet sorghum flour, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon and for extra sweetness a bit of coconut sugar. So many healthy ingredients all piled up into one muffin.

This gluten-free muffin recipe is a great way to use up ripe bananas and the extra apples you may have lying around that are not as crispy as they should be. I have added walnuts to this recipe, but the nuts are optional. You can also change up the walnuts for pecans if you like.

Why You’ll Love This Gluten-Free Banana Apple Muffin Recipe

Let’s be honest—baking usually means a mountain of bowls, spatulas, and a mixer to wash. Not fun. But this recipe keeps it simple. I used a food processor for everything from mashing the banana to chopping the apples. No processor? No worries! The recipe includes directions for making it by hand, too.

Easy, Freezer-Friendly & Family-Approved

One of the best things about these banana apple muffins? They freeze beautifully. I love making a big batch and stashing them away for quick breakfasts or snacks. They’re so moist and flavorful, your family won’t believe they’re gluten-free.

(P.S. If you love this one, don’t miss the Grain-Free Blueberry Cinnamon Muffin recipe!)

I used this recipe as a base, but switched out some of the flour. I didn’t have enough almond flour, so upped the amount of sorghum to 3/4 cup, and I used almond flour, oats flour and oats fibre for the rest. And a tablespoon of carob powder. I kept the total amount of flour to 2 cups though. And I used a lot more cinnamon powder as well. I guess about double the amount. I don’t think I would have tasted the cinnamon at all had I used less. They turned out great. Moist and a bit crispy on the surface, as I sprinkled it with coconut sugar before it went into the oven. I will definitely make these again.
