Paleo Banana Muffins

 I have another recipe for banana muffins from Multiply Delicious, but it calls for A LOT of almond butter and almond flour. Both are expensive, so I tried to find a recipe that didnt call for the almond butter. I found this one from the Living Healthy with Chocolate blog, and they turned out great! They tasted just as moist as the other recipe.

  • 1½ cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 3 bananas (I used apple bananas)

  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 5 tbs butter, melted
  • ⅓ cup raw pecans, chopped
Crumbs:
  • 2 tbs almond flour
  • ⅛ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbs butter
Instructions
  1. preheat the oven at 350°F
  2. in a bowl mix the almond flour, baking soda and salt
  3. in a separate bowl, mash the bananas and mix in the honey, egg and melted butter
  4. pour the banana mixture into the flour mixture and stir to combine
  5. fold in chopped pecans
  6. spoon the batter into paper lined muffin pan cups
Crumbs:
  1. mix together the almond flour, cinnamon and butter until mixture resemble coarse cornmeal and sprinkle over the top of each muffin
  2. bake for 17 minutes or until tops turn golden brown
