Easy Banana Caramel Muffins

Easy Banana Caramel Muffins

I am still in my banana phase, this week I’ve made Banana Nut Muffins and Banana Pancakes. Today, I fused those 2 recipes into these easy and delicious Banana Caramel Muffins. All you have to do is toss everything in a blender and bake. They rise up beautifully and are super moist. You will never believe that these are Gluten Free!

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you may have noticed my slight obsession with Dulce De Leche. It just so decadent and has a very deep vanilla flavor that just melts my heart. I could eat it by the spoonful. Dulce de Leche is definitely part of my latin roots.

These Banana Caramel Muffins have a predominant Banana taste with the sweetness of the caramel. I add a few sprinkles of Heath Bar pieces on top so they melt and create a beautiful crust. You can garnish them with a little Dulce De Leche if you’re serving them on a party or get together or omit the garnish if it’s for breakfast or brunch.

What I love most about this recipe, aside from the taste and simplicity, is how moist it stays. The inside bakes up so nicely with a wonderful texture that it would be impossible to achieve if you were using flour. I figure the banana and the egg have something to do with that. Don’t believe me? Here’s an open muffin:

See? that is one delicious and moist muffin. If you’re not a fan of caramel, you can substitute for a more american flavor: Peanut Butter. Omit the Dulce de Leche and add some PB – you can garnish with a little dab of jelly on top and you’ll have Banana Peanut Butter Jelly muffins. HMMM… This is giving me an idea for my next recipe.

I hope you can try these Banana Caramel Muffins at home. They whip up in seconds and bake in just minutes. Delicious, decadent and easy.
