Cream Cheese-Filled Almond Flour Banana Muffins (GF)
Description
This recipe yields banana muffins using almond and coconut flour for a gluten-free base. Mashed ripe bananas contribute natural sweetness and moisture. The batter is sweetened partially with brown sugar and enriched with butter and eggs, while baking powder and baking soda help a light rise. Vanilla extract adds flavor depth.
The cream cheese filling is mixed with brown sugar separately and added to the center of each muffin before baking. This creates a surprise creamy layer inside that contrasts with the tender, slightly dense crumb of the almond and coconut flour muffin exterior. The oven temperature and baking time yield muffins with gently browned tops and moist insides.
These muffins are suitable for those avoiding gluten and looking for a moist, flavorful option with a creamy center. They can be enjoyed for breakfast, a snack, or dessert.
