Equipment

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups almond flour blanched
  • 1/4 cup flax meal
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 cup walnuts chopped, optional

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 eggs beaten
  • 1/2 cup monk fruit sweetener or allulose
  • 1/3 cup coconut milk or almond milk (I like NutPods Vanilla Creamer), or use unsweetened Greek yogurt
  • 1 banana ripe, mashed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350º F. Line a muffin pan with 12 parchment paper liners and set aside.
  • In medium sized mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients, and whisk to combine well.
  • In a large bowl, add the banana, and mash.
  • Into the banana, add the eggs, vanilla, and coconut or almond milk. Whisk to combine.
  • Add the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined.
  • If using, fold in walnuts, chocolate chips, seeds, or pecans.
  • Divide the batter between the 12 muffins cups. Top each one with a thin slice of banana, if desired.
  • Bake Muffins for 16-20 minutes, until risen and centers are fully baked. Almond flour browns faster than other flours, so a darker golden color is normal!

Notes

How to Store Leftover Keto Banana Muffins

After muffins have fully cooled, store in an air tight container refrigerated for up to 6 days.
Store muffins in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Allow muffins to thaw on the countertop for about 15 minutes to serve.

Make Low Carb Paleo Banana Muffins

These muffins are easily made paleo, depending on which sweeteners you prefer on your paleo diet.
Allulose and erythritol are not considered paleo, so should be omitted on a strict paleo diet. Coconut sugar is a good substitute (though not keto).
