Ingredients
3 ripe bananas, mashed
3 large eggs
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups almond flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
1/4 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Whisk in the eggs, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add the almond flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using) to the wet ingredients. Stir until a smooth batter forms.
- Fold in the chocolate chips or nuts, if desired.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
