Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 medium overripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups fine almond flour, spoon and leveled
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup blueberries

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin pan with muffin liners or use a silicone muffin pan for easy removal.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients. Set aside.
  • In a second bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients, except for the blueberries. Transfer to the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix it all together until combined, without over mixing. Stir in the blueberries.
  • Transfer to the muffin pan, making 12. The mixture will be thick, so to have a smoother looking muffin top, smooth them with lightly wet hands. Alternatively, you can transfer the mixture using an ice cream scoop.
  • Bake for 30 minutes at 350°F. The muffins will be dark on the outside, but shouldn't be burnt.
  • Let them cool completely and store them in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

Notes

This recipe is inspired by ifoodreal.
Make sure to use superfine almond flour (not almond meal). This is the almond flour that I use.
For vegan muffins, omit the eggs and add 1-2 tablespoons of plant-based milk.
You can swap the blueberries for raspberries or a handful of chocolate chips. Change the add-ins using what you have on hand.
You can use frozen blueberries, but keep in mind that the batter will be a bit blue.
You can skip the add-ins and keep it simple by making banana muffins.
You can add nuts for a little crunch. Walnuts and pecans would work best.
You can also mix all the ingredients in a blender, which is how ifoodreal made them, but I opted for the old fashion bowl.
