Almond Flour Banana Muffins (great texture, vegan option!)
Servings 8
These almond flour banana muffins have a great texture, with just a little bit of added coconut sugar and are naturally paleo — there’s also a vegan option! These muffins won’t disappoint!
Ingredients
- 1 cup (230 grams) mashed bananas this was 2 medium bananas
- 2 large eggs 50 grams each out of shell; or 2 modified chia eggs for vegan, see notes
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons (22 grams) coconut sugar very tightly packed
- 1 1/3 cups (133 grams) almond flour see notes
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with 8 muffin liners. I recommend silicone liners as these muffins stick a bit to paper ones. If you have to use paper, then waiting a few hours after baking helps make removing the liners easier.
- Add the mashed bananas, eggs, vanilla and coconut sugar to a large mixing bowl, and stir until combined.1 cup (230 grams) mashed bananas, 2 large eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons (22 grams) coconut sugar
- In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, cinnamon, salt and baking soda. Add the dry mix to the wet and stir just until combined.1 1/3 cups (133 grams) almond flour, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- Spoon the batter into the muffin liners, filling them 2/3 full.
- Bake for 17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes in the pan and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. These muffins are best after they've rested for a few hours.
- Store in an airtight container for 2-3 days at room temperature. These are very moist so I don't recommend keeping them at room temp so long. You can also refrigerate for 5 days or freeze for 2 months.
Notes
- To make the 2 modified chia eggs for this recipe, use 2 tablespoons ground chia seeds + 5 tablespoons water. Mix together until goopy like an egg.
- Almond flour is called ground almonds in some countries.
