Gluten Free White Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

This recipe takes banana muffins to a whole new level!  Even my daughter, who isn't a huge fan of muffins, had to admit they were good!

Basically there are two kinds of people; those who like muffins and those who don't.  I have been a muffin lover for a long time. When I began baking as a teenager muffins were my favourite thing to make because they were fast and easy and tasted great.  I guess everyone knew I liked muffins because one year for Christmas I received muffin recipe books from two separate people.

Now that I am eating gluten free my love of muffins has served me well since they make the transition fabulously!
