Low Carb Keto Banana Muffins

These low carb keto banana muffins use almond flour, ground flaxseed, and ripe banana to create moist, flavorful muffins compatible with keto diets. They contain cinnamon and vanilla for warmth and aroma, with the option of including cacao nibs or sugar-free chocolate chips for texture and slight bitterness. The batter is mixed and baked until golden, yielding muffins with a tender crumb and banana sweetness but low carbohydrates.

Ingredients

  • 200 g / 2 cups almond flour or ground almonds
  • 30 g / ¼ cup Flaxseed ground
  • 120 g / ½ cup banana very ripe (1 medium banana)
  • 2 egg large
  • 120 ml / 4 ounces almond milk ½ cup
  • 60 ml / 2 ounces coconut oil ¼ cup, melted and cooled
  • 3-4 tablespoon granulated sweetener depending on your sweet tooth
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 40 g cacao nibs or sugar free chocolate chips (⅓ cup), optional
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius / 350 Fahrenheit.
  2. Mix the banana, eggs, almond milk, vanilla and oil in a food processor or with a blender.
  3. Add the dry ingredients: the ground almonds, ground flaxseed, erythritol, baking powder and spices. Blend until thoroughly combined
  4. Lastly, stir in the cacao nibs (or chopped dark chocolate)
  5. Fill into a muffin tin lined with paper cups. If you don't have any to hand, make sure the tin is really well greased. My mix made 8 muffins, but I did "try" the dough quite a few times. Yours might yield 9!
  6. Bake at 180 degrees 25-30 minutes or until browned on top. You can also test with a cocktail stick or a knife - if they come out dry, the muffins are done.

Notes

  • Each muffin contains around 4 grams net carbohydrates, not including cacao nibs or sugar-free chocolate chips.
  • This recipe makes about 8 muffins depending on portion size.
  • You can add a pinch of salt to enhance flavor if desired.
