Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup tapioca starch or arrowroot powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas.
  3. Stir in the melted coconut oil (or butter), maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time until the batter is smooth.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca starch (or arrowroot powder), baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
  8. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • You can substitute other gluten-free flours like oat flour or a gluten-free all-purpose blend, but results may vary.
  • Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
