Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Banana (ripe, mashed)
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted) or Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Sugar-free sweetener (like erythritol or monk fruit sweetener)
- 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts or sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with oil or non-stick spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Add the eggs, almond milk, melted butter or coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sugar-free sweetener. Whisk until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using optional add-ins like chopped walnuts or sugar-free chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.
Evenly divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
