Paleo Hummingbird Muffins
Description
This recipe begins by combining dry ingredients: almond flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, wet ingredients consisting of eggs, mashed ripe banana, chopped pineapple, and vanilla extract are whisked together. The wet mixture is incorporated into the dry until just mixed. The batter is spooned into muffin cups, filled three-quarters full, and topped with chopped raw pecans for added texture.
Baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to 25 minutes, the muffins develop a golden edge and firm texture when done. The inclusion of almond flour keeps these muffins dense but moist, while pineapple and banana add natural sweetness and moisture, balancing the crumb. Pecans provide a crunchy contrast in each bite.
Cooling the muffins for at least 30 minutes before serving allows them to set properly, enhancing the texture. Using canned pineapple chopped finely is an option for convenience. These muffins serve as a grain-free option for breakfast or snacks, highlighting tropical fruit flavors with warm cinnamon and nuts.
