Recipe: Keto Banana Muffins
Ingredients:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup granulated erythritol (or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any low-carb milk of your choice)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon banana extract (optional, for flavor)
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional, for added texture)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, granulated erythritol, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the melted coconut oil, almond milk, vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, and banana extract (if using). Mix until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick batter forms. Fold in the chopped walnuts, if desired.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each one about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
