Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups almond flour (about 192 grams), finely ground
  • 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (60 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your muffin tin with liners or lightly grease it.
  2. Mash the ripe bananas in a mixing bowl with a fork or potato masher until smooth but still a bit chunky.
  3. Whisk in the eggs, almond milk, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly frothy.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in chopped walnuts or pecans if using.
  7. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and tops are golden.
  9. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and moist. Use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture. Room temperature eggs and almond milk blend better. Line muffin pan to prevent sticking. If batter is too runny, add more almond flour; if too thick, add more almond milk. For keto, replace maple syrup with erythritol or monk fruit sweetener. Nut-free option: use sunflower seed flour and coconut milk.
