Almond Flour Banana Muffins

These Almond Flour Banana Muffins are naturally sweetened with ripe banana and filled with the warm flavor of cinnamon. Perfectly moist and fluffy, they make a wholesome dessert option with minimal ingredients.

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

  • 80 grams almond flour
  • 100 grams ripe mashed banana
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts or dark chocolate chips (optional)

Procedure:

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tray with 2 muffin liners or grease the cups lightly with oil.
  • In a mixing bowl, mash the banana well, then whisk in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Add almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined. If desired, fold in chopped walnuts or dark chocolate chips.
  • Pour the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 of the way full.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean. Let the muffins cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Nutritional Benefits:

  • Almond flour is a nutrient-dense alternative to wheat flour, rich in healthy fats, protein, fiber, and vitamin E, supporting heart health and skin health. Bananas provide potassium, which is essential for muscle function and blood pressure regulation, as well as vitamin B6, which supports brain health.
  • Cinnamon adds flavor along with antioxidants that help regulate blood sugar, and the optional walnuts or dark chocolate chips add a boost of omega-3s or antioxidants. These muffins are a nutrient-packed, gluten-free treat ideal for satisfying sweet cravings in a balanced way.
