- 2 cups (180 grams) blanched almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup mashed overripe bananas (about 3 bananas)
- 3 to 5 tablespoons* maple syrup
- 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Up to ½ cup mix-ins, like chocolate chips, toasted and chopped pecans or walnuts, or a mix
Steps
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line all 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine, then set the bowl aside.
In a smaller mixing bowl, whisk the eggs to break them up. Add the mashed banana, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla. Whisk until the mixture is fully blended.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, and stir with a big spoon until the mixture is evenly combined. If you’re adding mix-ins, gently stir them in now.
Fill the muffin cups halfway and divide any remaining batter evenly between the cups. Bake for 23 to 25 minutes, until the muffins are turning golden around the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling. Muffins will keep at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
