To make these cassava banana muffins, first preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a muffin pan with paper or silicone muffin liners. This recipe will make 11-12 muffins.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients. Add in the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
Pour the batter into the lined muffin pan, filling each slot about ¾ full.
Lastly, place the muffins in the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
After baking, let the muffins cool a few minutes in the muffin pan, then transfer them to a wire cooling rack.

FAQ
Yes, cassava flour is gluten free. Cassava flour comes from the cassava (or yuca) root, which is a tuber commonly consumed in Africa, Asia and South America. Learn more about cassava flour in my cassava flour guide.
Cassava flour has a neutral, slightly earthy flavor.
I have not tested this banana muffin recipe without eggs, so cannot recommend an egg substitute.
