Ingredients
Units Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup honey
- 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped walnut or pecan pieces
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º and line a muffin pan with 12 paper liners.
- Combine wet ingredients. Whisk the eggs in a large mixing bowl and stir in the honey and melted butter. Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
- Combine dry ingredients. Mix the almond flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a medium-sized bowl. Combine all ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture and stir until well combined. Fold in the nuts. Divide the batter between the muffin cups and lightly press down any large bumps.
- Bake for 20 – 25 minutes, until slightly browned and springy to the touch, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the muffins in the baking pan for an additional 10 minutes, and then remove them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
