Can I Make These Gluten-Free Banana Muffins Healthier?

Absolutely! You can easily make these muffins even healthier. Try swapping out some of the sugar for a sugar substitute or using a touch less. For added fiber, consider stirring in a tablespoon or two of chia seeds or ground flaxseed with your dry ingredients. A sprinkle of whole-grain gluten-free oats on top before baking also adds a nice texture and boost.
