Banana Bread Muffins

I love my mother’s banana bread recipe. Every time I eat that bread, it just brings me right back to my childhood! 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 to much for just little ole me. And even if I freeze leftovers, it’s still too much!

Of course, I am eating gluten free and grain free. 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.
