Healthy Banana Muffins | Small Batch Recipe
Description
This small batch recipe produces healthy banana muffins featuring a low-carb baking mix sweetened with a stevia and erythritol blend, along with baking powder and cinnamon for lift and spice. Ripe banana adds natural sweetness and moisture, while eggs and melted butter bind the muffin batter.
The mixing method involves combining dry ingredients separately from wet, then folding them together gently to avoid overmixing, which helps maintain a tender crumb. Baking at 325°F for 20-25 minutes yields muffins with a moist texture and subtle banana flavor enhanced by cinnamon and optional banana powder.
The recipe’s small batch size is suitable for limited servings. Adjustments to liquid levels may be needed depending on the brand of oat fiber or coconut flour used, which absorb moisture differently. Muffins should be stored in an airtight container and are best consumed within a week.
Caution is advised for those following strict gluten-free diets to verify ingredient brands, especially oat fiber. Nutritional analysis will vary based on exact ingredients used.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup low carb baking mix
- 1/4 cup stevia/erythritol sweetener blend
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon banana powder optional
- 3 egg large
- 1/4 cup butter unsalted and cooled, melted
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 banana large, very ripe
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F degrees.
- In a medium bowl whisk together baking mix, sweetener, baking powder, cinnamon and banana powder (optional).
- In a separate bowl mash banana with a fork, and then add eggs, butter, cream, and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
- Gently fold wet and dry ingredients together until incorporated. Do not over mix.
- Place batter in muffin liners and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Notes
- Oat fiber differs from oat flour; check brands to ensure gluten-free if needed.
- Adjust liquid quantities as fiber and coconut flour brands vary in absorption; add cream if too dry or baking mix if too wet.
- Store muffins in an airtight container for up to one week.
- Carb counts are estimates; calculate macros based on your exact ingredients.
