Chocolate Banana Marbled Muffins remind me of the marbled cake I used to love making as a young girl.

I used to bake every Sunday for our church potluck lunch when I was a young teenage girl. Those days, we met at my Auntie Jeanette’s house (my namesake). I remember marbled cake being one of my favorite cakes to make – I think I just loved swirling the batter together and creating something pretty. Back then, I only knew how to bake using boxed cake mix, but I was always so proud of my cakes.

These days, I bake from scratch, and try to use healthier ingredients. You might have seen a few of my other marbled cupcake and muffin recipes.

Another cake that I fondly remember from my childhood is my Mom’s banana cake. She made it whenever we had overripe bananas lying around, and I make it for my kids.

Today, I’m sharing a marbled creation that combines two of my favorite childhood memories into one, in muffin form – made with a combination of oat flour, sorghum flour and potato starch, these muffins are healthy and naturally gluten-free.

The texture of these muffins is light, cake-like and fine, yet moist and tender.

Do you like marbled cake or muffins?

    What a sweet story of the cakes you used to bake, and your Auntie Jeanette! I can absolutely understand why you’d choose to focus on that for this (really cool!) Recipe Redux challenge! Chocolate and bananas are such a classically fantastic combination – great idea to combine them in these lovely, swirled muffins! Pinning, for sure! 😀

      Thanks Shelley – I have very fond memories of my Auntie Jeanette and how she opened her home every Sunday so we could have service and potluck lunch at her house.
