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 eggs 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.
