Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated low-carb sweetener (e.g., erythritol or monk fruit blend)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 3 pieces Eggs, large
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Banana extract
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped macadamia nuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well mixed and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, almond milk, banana extract, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently fold together until a thick batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped macadamia nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
