What this really means is that I have discovered a whole new source of the freshest berries you can get. And I’m really excited to release the next few recipes here, all featuring these juicy strawberries. Because I have 12 quarts to go through!
And the first recipe on the list is strawberry banana muffins!
I’m writing this post from a hotel room in Canada today. I know, it’s pretty far from Florida, and about 50 degrees colder. That’s Fahrenheit, not celsius, for all of you Americans out there. To make up for the cold weather this week, I will be spending 100% of my time at the beach this weekend.
But before I left for this trip, I ran through my usual list of tasks. And I’m sure any fellow celiac can relate to this one: What will I be able to eat when I get there? Especially visiting another country, I really wasn’t sure what I’d have available until I got to the hotel. So, I whipped up this quick batch of strawberry banana muffins to take with my on my trip!
And as it turns out, it took quite a bit of time to get through customs today, so it was a good thing I had them.

THis looks so good! Do they keep very long?
Thanks! They will keep for 1-2 days on the counter, and about a week in the refrigerator.
Thanks for sharing! Do they rise well? It looks like a really a wet dough.
They do! The fruit does make the dough seem a bit wet, and it will also depend on the blend of gluten free all purpose flour you use. But they turned out great!
Can these be made with real flour? They sound so good.
Yes you should be able to swap for regular flour.
