Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with non-stick spray.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the egg, pure vanilla extract, and melted butter, and whisk until well combined.
Add the brown sugar to the banana mixture and stir until the sugar is dissolved and the batter is smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your gluten-free chocolate chip banana muffins warm or at room temperature.
