All week I had this insatiable craving for banana nut muffins! The craving came sometime around Wednesday or Thursday and just did not let up. So I knew over the weekend I had a mission to put together some delicious gluten free, dairy free, paleo banana nut muffins for you, dear readers. You really can’t go wrong with a banana muffin. Unless, of course, you do not enjoy bananas? I’m guessing you could easily swap bananas out for blueberries, strawberries or even blackberries, but I haven’t tried. What is your favorite kind of muffin?
Simple Paleo Banana Nut Muffins
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 2 very ripe bananas, mashed
- 2-3 tablespoons vanilla extract (depending on how sweet you like it)
- 1 tablespoon nut butter
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup crushed nuts (optional)
- coconut oil for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- Mash bananas
- Crush nuts (I put mine in a bag and roll over them with a rolling pin)
- Combine all ingredients and mix well
- Grease muffin cups with coconut oil
- Divide muffin mixture equally between muffin cups (I got 10 muffins out of mine)
- Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean
Do you think I could substitute coconut flour in place of the almond flour? Looks like a really yummy recipe!
Hi Margaret,
Coconut flour is very different. It is not a ratio to ratio substitute. You would have to change the amount for coconut flour a lot, it’s usually a lot less! Sorry! Meg
Coconut flour absorbs a lot of moisture. Would need to add more. Maybe extra egg.
These look delicious! Do they freeze well? Thanks 🙂
Hi Kimberly, These never last in my house so I haven’t had to! I’m guessing it would be no problem, though!
Hi Sherrill, mine were not dry but how ripe were your bananas? They need to be pretty brown to get a good texture and sweet flavor.
Made thesefor breakfast! The best! Moist, amazing texture and delicious.
Oh my goodness! Awesome article dude! Thank you, However I am going through troubles with your RSS.
I don’t know the reason why I can’t subscribe to it. Is there anybody else having
identical RSS issues? Anybody who knows the solution can you kindly respond?
Thanx!!
