Ben and I felt the best we ever felt after finishing our first Whole30 a few years ago. These muffins were a regular part of our diet and continue to be even when not necessarily trying to be healthy.
If you're trying to eat a little healthier, you know it can take a lot of prep and planning. I love these banana muffins because there is nothing to prep and the only plan is to make sure you have your pantry stocked with the ingredients (which you should already have on hand). You dirty only ONE bowl.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute all-purpose flour for the almond flour?
I do not recommend replacing the almond flour with all-purpose flour. Try my other yummy banana muffins recipe instead!
Are almond meal and almond flour the same thing?
No, they are not exactly the same. Almond flour is a bit finer than almond meal. However, for this recipe you can use them interchangeably.
Can I freeze these muffins?
Yes, we freeze these all the time! Let them cool to room temperature then place in a freezer bag. I've frozen them up to 1 month, because that's how quickly we go through them. After 1 month they might start taking on a freezer taste.
Recipe Variations
- We usually eat these muffins with a slab of jelly (naturally sweetened with fruit juice).
- Stir in blueberries, pecans or other nuts to the muffin batter to create more flour-less muffin variations!
- Chocolate chips would compliment these muffins well, too!
