Gluten-Free Banana Jam Muffins

I love, love, love muffins. As a health nut & healthy foodie, I’ve been baking them for 20 years–vegan, of course–and have concocted a wide assortment of flavors using every type of fruit and flour under the sun. I can honestly say this recent invention is by far my favorite!
These gluten-free banana jam muffins are sweetened with bananas, maple syrup and fruit-juice sweetened jam. I used sunflower seed butter in the recipe, which is safe for most people with nut allergies, but go ahead and use almond butter or good ol’ fashioned peanut butter if that’s your jam. The recipe is also sugar-free, dairy-free/vegan and high in protein.
