I love banana bread / banana muffins — I always have, they’re yummy and sweet and filling without being overly anything. The odd thing? I don’t like bananas as is! Never really have, but yet I could eat a whole batches of these little beauties!
These are a great on the go snack, breakfast or heck you could serve them as dessert with some fresh fruit! Talk about a versatile little recipe! My favorite part? You literally just add everything into the bowl, mix it up, add to a muffin pan and then bake — I mean these are literally fool proof! So if you’re not a baker or you’ve never walked down the road of Paleo Muffins, don’t worry you cannot mess these up!

Author: Liz
Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 9
Ingredients
- 2 almost-over ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups Almond Flour
- 3 Eggs
- 4 Tbsp Melted Butter
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- • ¼ cup Almonds, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350{F}
- Mash your two bananas in a bowl really well with a fork.
- Add in the rest of your ingredients and mix well. Remember to crack your eggs first into a separate bowl and then add them into your larger bowl to prevent adding in a bad egg or egg shells 🙂
- Then grease your muffin tin with some butter / coconut oil / ghee {even if it's non-stick, trust me!}.
- These puff up a little but not too much, so you can fill these pretty close to the top.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the top has set and they're slightly golden brown.
- Allow to cool and serve
Notes
If you don't like crunch in your muffins, completely feel free to leave out the chopped almonds!
Haha, step #3 reminds me of FACS (family and consumer science) at the Ottoson. Mmm you should do a paleo version of Cowboy Cookies!
Hmm only if I can be like Ms. King and call people hooligans and talk about how they make a ruckus!
Loving these muffins! I am obsessed with almond flour right now. So yummy.
I made these the other day and they are so yummy! Even my bf who isn’t a fan of paleo OR healthy food loved them:) Plus they were super easy to make and made my apt smell yummy
What can you substitute for butter? A member of my household is gluten AND lactose intolerant. I want to make these yummy muffins, but would like to be considerate of her dietary needs as well.
Heyy Machin!
You could try using Coconut Oil instead of the butter!
I tried these today. They’re simple, quick, and great! I used 4 tbsp of melted coconut oil instead of butter. I did opt to use the chopped almonds, which added a nice crunch to the texture. There’s no sugar, but I didn’t miss it. The bananas give all of the sweetness that I need, and they smell wonderful! As suggested, I did grease the tin with coconut oil, and they didn’t stick. The recipe yielded 7 muffins in my regular-sized muffin tin. With 7 muffins, I had one to try, and 6 for breakfast during the week. They’ll be great with a little fruit. Great recipe!
i love low carb desserts. this looks delish!
My son has an allergy to eggs and dairy, so I sub butter with non dairy butter, or coconut oil. I sub eggs for flaxseed or Chia seeds. Tastes so good!
No baking powder or baking soda needed?
Heyy Melisa! Nope, none needed!
Hi there, been lurking around for some time now. I’ve been Paleo for 6 weeks and so happy to not be bloated and stuffed! I am 65 and on SS and SSI so every thing is not organic, but I do pray over it :-))
I am diabetic, bi polar, and have fibromyalgia (and chronic fatigue.
I am so happy to get the banana muffin recipe, going to try it tonight!
I am down to 1/4 of my blood sugar meds. My nails are better. All of me is better–especially loosing some pounds. Blessings my dear!
Is there anyway you can tell me the nutritional facts of this food? Like how many calories one would be and such?
Hey Cat! I don’t have the nutritional information for the recipe — but if you go to myfitnesspal.com or similar websites you can input the recipe and get the data that way!!!
Thank you.
I’ve made these a few times and I really like them.
