I can’t wait to share this chickpea flour muffin recipe with you because it’s been my favorite easy, healthy postpartum snack lately.

Life has been busy, and I’ve been either relying on easy freezer meals for new moms or eating out. And then there’s the occasional strawberry baked oatmeal for dinner kinda night.

Breakfast for dinner is our favorite. I mean, why not? Breakfast has so many benefits, and healthy breakfast meal prep is so so easy.

You just need a few dry pantry staples to make these healthy strawberry banana muffins.

I promise – they are so delicious and they also make for a great healthy breakfast muffin for kids and healthy toddler finger foods.

Things that are essential when you’re running around sleep deprived making sure everyone is dressed before leaving the house.

I love finding new ways to throw fruits or veggies into things, like in these spinach sweet potato tater tots or toddler mac and cheese.

These easy gluten free strawberry muffins are no different. We’ve got loads of fiber, protein and fruits in these.

Ingredients For Chickpea Flour Muffins

Gather these ingredients to make the best chickpea flour muffins.

• Chickpea flour (or garbanzo flour) – Chickpea flour is simply chickpeas that have been grounded into flour and is a gluten free flour. You can make your own or buy it online through Thrive Market.
• Oat flour – very soft and combines with chickpea flour to make these extra soft and fluffy
• Strawberries – can use fresh, frozen or dried, though I prefer fresh
• Bananas – add the perfect amount of natural sweetness
• Eggs
• Coconut sugar (or brown sugar) – you can omit or reduce this if you’d like
• Coconut Oil
• Vanilla
• Apple Cider Vinegar

How To Make Gluten Free Strawberry Muffins

While I don’t follow a gluten free diet, I create many gluten free recipes because I keep an abundance of baking flours on hand. So, hence, these gluten free strawberry muffins were born.

Like these zucchini almond flour muffins or gluten free blueberry muffins or even my popular coconut flour oatmeal cookies.

When I saw a half-eaten box of strawberries looking at me in the fridge, I knew it was time to create something with them. You will notice a difference when you make strawberry muffins with fresh strawberries.

To start, just combine your dry ingredients in a medium bowl and your wet ingredients in a separate bowl. 

Then, you’ll mix them and fold in your strawberries, or any fruit of choice.

Transfer the batter to muffin tins (I love these non stick ones), and then toss them in the oven. Set your timer for 16-20 minutes.

The result is the tastiest, softest chickpea flour muffin recipe, that is light and fluffy, sweet, easy and ready in 20 minutes!

Seriously, they make for the best gluten free muffin recipe!

Recipe Notes For Easy Chickpea Banana Muffins

• These chickpea banana muffins are completely different from my gluten free chocolate zucchini muffins, though both are chickpea flour muffins. These are lighter and fluffier.
• I recommend pairing these garbanzo flour muffins with milk or slathering them with nut butter (a drippy one works best).
• Each chickpea flour muffin has about 4-6 grams of protein (depending on if you make 9 or 12 muffins), so paired with some protein + fat/fiber, it should satiate you for a little bit.
• If you need some reacquaintance to your hunger/fullness cues, I recommend eating about every 3-4 hours. So, if you pair it with a tsp of peanut butter or an ounce of nuts, you can reach 10 grams of protein for a snack! 
• Another great pairing is a gluten free strawberry muffin and a hard-boiled egg or 2 as you head out the door. This is what I recommend to my busy athletes or professionals who don’t make time to eat breakfast.
