Making My Banana Muffins Gluten Free

Grandma's New Banana Muffins

What a great time of year for a batch of Banana Muffins.  The kids are back at school and a surprise healthy after school snack today can serve double duty as a quick breakfast in the morning.  I know the first few days back in the early school year time is always flying by in the morning, so if I can get my kids to grab a quick healthy breakfast as they are running out the door I am happy.  I find if I have a plate of these handy in the kitchen they are more apt to eat one without any fuss as they are running around saying they have no time for breakfast.  The fact  that they are made with a gluten free baking mix is just a plus making them extra healthy and able to satisfy all the eaters in my house.  What's not to love about that!
