Ingredients

    2 T shortening
    2/3 c sugar (white and/or brown)**
    2 eggs
    1/3 c unsweetened applesauce
    1 1/2 c gluten-free flour mix of your choice***
    1/2 t xanthan gum (if not included in your flour mix)
    1 t baking soda
    2 t baking powder
    1 t vanilla
    1/2 c plain or light vanilla yogurt
    1 1/2 c smashed banana
    1/3 c chocolate chips

Directions

Cream shortening and sugar in big bowl.
Add eggs and applesauce, mix well
Mix dry ingredients, add to big bowl.
Add in vanilla, yogurt and banana.
Mix well.
Stir in chocolate chips.

Pour about 1/4 c batter into greased muffin cups.
Bake at 350*F for 24-30 minutes until lightly browned on top.

Makes 20-24 muffins.

** White sugar will leave you with slightly sweeter muffins, while brown sugar has more flavor to it. Sugar substitutes are not recomended.

*** I have used several different "versions" of gluten-free flour mixes and all seem about the same to me. I prefer those that are heavy in rice and/or sorghum flour to those with bean flours for lighter, fluffier muffins.

    Very Good
    My shortening was coconut oil. Added extra 1/3 c sugar & 1/3 c choc chips. Thought they were "gummy" but they just weren't cooled yet. "Next-day" flavor of these is delicious. These are a little dense but moist, and they freeze well. Thanks for a great recipe! - 6/30/15
