Paleo Almond Flour Banana Muffins: 5-Ingredient Grain-Free Snack


  • Author: Lisa
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Description

Soft, moist, and naturally sweet grain-free muffins made with just five ingredients. These egg-free, paleo-friendly treats are perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast or snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe bananas (about 1 ½ cups mashed)
  • 1 ½ cups blanched almond flour
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Optional: dark chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, or cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners.
  2. Peel ripe bananas and mash them in a large mixing bowl until completely smooth.
  3. Add melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt to the mashed bananas; whisk until well combined and glossy.
  4. Add almond flour and baking soda to the wet mixture; stir gently with a spatula until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before storing.

Notes

Use very ripe, black-spotted bananas for natural sweetness. Ensure baking soda is fresh for proper rising. Cool muffins completely to prevent crumbling. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Almond flour can go rancid, so check freshness before use.
