How to Make Banana Maple Pecan Bread Muffins Gluten Free

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, mash bananas until mostly smooth. Add eggs, oil, and vanilla extract; mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour blend, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
**For Maple Pecan Topping:** Combine brown sugar, pecans, and melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over half of the muffins.
**For Cream Cheese Topping:** Beat cream cheese, brown sugar, and maple syrup until smooth and fluffy. Dollop onto the remaining muffins.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your delicious gluten-free banana maple pecan muffins!
