So, Peter decided on homemade muffins for breakfast. But... What to make! I decided I wanted to try something new... and something gluten free (May is gluten free awareness month). And these bad boys that I've crafted in my kitchen this morning? FREAKING DELICIOUS. LOVE THEM. Will be making these again... and again... and again.

Whether you like them with just the fruit or with tossing some chocolate in them, they are the best muffins- gluten free or otherwise- that I've ever made. I'm in heaven. Pass the muffin tray, please!

Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sugar together. In another bowl, add the butter, banana, eggs, honey and milks. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry, then stir in the dried fruit. Fill muffin tins 3/4 way full (they dont rise a lot) and cook at 350 for 23-25 minutes.

(I make my first batch, then add the 48g of chocolate chunk pieces into the remaining batter and make those on round 2.)

Makes 19 muffins:
