I’ve never been that into anything banana-related. I mean banana is ok… but give me chocolate, caramel, or both any day over banana flavors! But I have to say these banana muffins have changed my tune. I don’t even think I would have developed this recipe if it wasn’t for repeated requests. After all, when I think about muffins, my mind almost always goes straight for these Paleo Blueberry Muffins. So with all the requests and the fact that Tyler really likes banana muffins, I got to work. Imagine my surprise when I bit into my first butter-slathered bite, and my eyes rolled up in absolute delight. Of course, 1 muffin turned into 2, and I was hooked! To be fair these banana muffins have mini chocolate chips in them. So maybe that explains my now ‘obsession’ with them. The other thing that I love about these muffins is they freeze well. And I’ve been keeping a batch ready to go at all times. It would seem that having ready-made muffins around is handier than I would have thought. Just last weekend, we had company on an extra busy weekend. So when Saturday morning came, I just reheated these muffins in the oven and made some sausages and scrambled eggs. It looked like an impressive breakfast, but it couldn’t have been easier.
How to make these Almond Flour Banana Muffins
Step 1: Add the dry ingredients to a medium-sized mixing bowl and whisk them together making sure there are no lumps of almond flour. Step 2: Next place the bananas, melted butter/ghee/avocado oil, eggs, and vanilla into a blender and blend until smooth. You can also mash the ripe bananas by hand in a medium-sized bowl and stir in the rest of the wet ingredients. The blender just speeds things up, but it’s not necessary. Step 3: Stir the chocolate chips into the flour mixture if you’re using them. Then pour the banana mixture into the flour mixture. Step 5: Portion the batter out evenly into a muffin pan lined with 12 paper muffin liners. If desired you can sprinkle the tops of the muffins with mini chocolate chips. I usually do half and half as pictured above. Step 6: Bake the muffins until they’re puffed in the middle and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs. Let them cool slightly in the muffin tin, then remove them to a cooling rack to cool completely before storing them.
