Ingredients

Scale
  • 170g mashed bananas (about 3/4 cup)
  • 2 whole eggs (about 55g each)
  • 50g dark brown sugar (about 1/4 cup)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 200g almond flour (about 2 cups)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, eggs, dark brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined.
  3. Add Almond Flour: Gradually mix in the almond flour until the batter is smooth and there are no lumps.
  4. Fill Muffin Tin: Pour the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  5. Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For best results, use very ripe bananas as they provide the best sweetness and moisture for the muffins.
  • You can substitute the almond flour with other flour types, but this will alter the texture and flavor.
  • Add-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit can be mixed into the batter for extra flavor and texture.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
