    Ingredient Notes

    Ingredients for banana muffins.
    • Bananas - this recipe is great to use up ripe bananas that you may havein your fruit bowl.
    • Almond Flour - I use super fine almond flour in this recipe.
    • Eggs
    • Maple Syrup- use pure maple syrup or you can substitute honey if you wish.
    • Butter - I use melted butter but you can always swap it for melted coconut oil.
    • Vanilla Extract
    • Lemon Juice- you can also use apple cider vinegar, these ingredients help to activate the baking soda in the muffins.
    • Dark Chocolate Chips- these are optional but banana and chocolate is always a good idea! I like to mix regular dark chocolate chips and mini-sized semi-sweet chocolate chips for fun. These are our favorite!
    • Baking Soda
    • Sea Salt

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can you make banana muffins with almond flour?

    Absolutely! This recipe produces delicious banana muffins using almond flour. If you are used to making muffins with wheat flour you may notice that muffins with almond flour don't rise as much. They have a delicious flavor and texture and are great for gluten-free diets.

    Are banana muffins healthy?

    These banana muffins are very healthy, they are packed with healthy nutrient-dense ingredients like almond flour and are naturally sweetened with maple syrup and the sweetness of the ripe bananas.

    Can I use ground almonds instead of almond flour?

    Ground almonds are referred to as "almond meal". They can be used in place of almond flour but the texture will be slightly different. In my experience almond meal is nuttier in taste and texture, the superfine almond flour behaves and tastes more like a flour and not as rustic as almond meal. Experiment to see what you like best!
