Cream Cheese-Filled Almond Flour Banana Muffins (GF)
These gluten-free banana muffins made with almond and coconut flour feature a creamy cream cheese center that adds richness and moisture. The muffins have a tender crumb with natural sweetness from ripe bananas and a subtle brown sugar flavor. Baking creates lightly golden tops with a soft texture inside, balancing the sweetness of banana and cream cheese.
