Craving a wholesome treat? These banana muffins are for you!<\/strong> These muffins are tender, fluffy, and perfectly banana-y. My daughter adores them, and I love making them with her. I like to keep some in the freezer for snacks—they defrost in the microwave in about 20 seconds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This gluten-free banana muffin recipe is notable because it’s made with almond flour and naturally sweetened with real maple syrup.<\/strong> The remaining ingredients are to be expected, including eggs (for structure and loft), butter (for richness), baking powder and baking soda, salt, vanilla extract, and optional cinnamon (for a hint of warming spice). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These muffins are similar in flavor to my popular Maple-Sweetened Banana Muffins<\/a>, which are made with whole wheat flour, and follow the same formula as my Gluten-Free Pumpkin Muffins<\/a>. I’ve probably made ten batches already. I hope you love them as much as we do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I’ve been obsessed with almond flour lately.<\/strong> I’m not following a gluten-free diet, but I love the tender texture of almond flour-based goods. You might expect almond flour to taste overtly of almonds, but it actually lets the other flavors in the recipe shine. (In contrast, regular flour dulls them.) As a result, I’m often able to use less sugar to match the sweetness found in more conventional counterparts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almond flour is lower in carbohydrates than grain-based flour, so using less sugar further reduces the carbohydrates without resorting to sugar-free alternatives. These muffins are wholesome and certainly more healthy than conventional muffins!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
