Everything Free Banana Bread Muffins

Sometimes we all need a sweet treat that’s completely guilt free.  I whipped up these Everything Free Banana Bread Muffins and they totally hit the spot!  And, if you’re craving chocolate, feel free to add in some anti-oxidant rich super-dark chocolate chips.

I hope you enjoy my favorite baking adventure treat. Feel free to make them in a loaf pan but be sure to bake the bread for 45-60 minutes and insert a toothpick to check when it’s cooked through (the toothpick should come out clean and the bread should feel firm in the middle when gently touched).

Everything Free Banana Bread Muffins

Servings: 10-12
Time: 45 minutes

  •  4 bananas, yellow (they do not need to be overly ripe)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Combine your bananas, eggs, nut butter, and butter in a blender, food processor, or mixing bowl and mix well (if using a mixing bowl you need a good hand-mixer).

Once all of your ingredients are blended move mixture to a mixing bowl and add in coconut flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla, and sea salt and mix well.

Add natural cupcake liners to a muffin pan and pour in your batter evenly throughout the pans. You should be able to fill one standard 12 muffin sized pan.

Place in your preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, the tops should be a golden brown. Remove from oven and allow muffins to cool on a baking rack (if you don’t have a baking rack you can just tilt them sideways in the pan to allow air to circulate underneath the muffins (I obviously do not own a baking rack).

Feel free to serve with chopped toasted pecans or walnuts and a little drizzle of honey. You could also include 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts in the batter. I’ve heard they’re delicious this way. :)
