Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup mashed ripe banana
- 1/4 cup sweetener of choice
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond flour and 1/4 cup of coconut flour. Stir well to ensure the flours are evenly mixed.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder to the flour mixture. Mix until fully incorporated. This will help the muffins rise properly.
- In a separate bowl, mash 1/2 cup of ripe banana until smooth. Make sure there are no lumps for a better texture in the muffins.
- Add 1/4 cup of your preferred sweetener to the mashed banana. This could be erythritol, stevia, or any other keto-friendly sweetener you choose. Mix until well combined.
- Crack in 2 large eggs into the banana mixture. Whisk the eggs together with the banana and sweetener until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
- Fold in 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, evenly distribute the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your Keto Banana Nut Muffins as a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option!
Tips
- Choose Ripe Bananas: The riper the banana, the sweeter your muffins will be. Look for bananas with brown spots for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining your wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, so keep it gentle!
- Experiment with Sweeteners: Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your liking by using different keto-friendly sweeteners. Erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit are all great options.
- Add Extra Flavor: For an added twist, consider mixing in a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon to enhance the flavor profile.
- Storage Tips: Keep your muffins fresh by storing them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer storage. Just reheat in the microwave for a quick snack!
- Customize Your Nuts: While walnuts are a classic choice, you can also try pecans or even add sugar-free chocolate chips for a fun variation!
- Check for Doneness: Every oven is different, so keep an eye on your muffins as they bake. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean when they're ready.With these tips, you're all set to create the perfect batch of Keto Banana Nut Muffins that everyone will love!
