Ingredients for Banana Almond Flour Mini Muffins

To make the muffins, gather some:

1. overripe bananas
2. almond flour
3. flaxseed meal
4. baking powder

(optional salt, too). 

You will need a full cup of mashed, very ripe banana for the recipe. It will take about 2 to 3 large bananas to create this amount. It is important to measure the mashed banana rather than go by total number of whole bananas since sizes can vary tremendously.

How to Make the Mini Muffins

Once the banana is mashed and measured, transfer it to a medium bowl and stir in the flaxseed meal. Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes (time for the flax to gel) and then mix in the almond flour, baking powder, and optional salt until blended.

All kinds of additional flavorings can be added to the batter, such as vanilla, almond extract, citrus zest or spices. They are not necessary, though; the basic version is packed with plenty of flavor!

Use a small cookie scoop of tablespoon to divide the batter between 22 cups (greased or sprayed) of a mini muffin pan.

Stick with a mini muffin pan. Without the structure of eggs or gluten, this batter does not fare well in large pans (rise and fall). This includes standard size muffin cups and loaf pans. Also, the longer baking time required from bigger muffins and loaves leads to scorching. 

Bake in a preheated 350F oven for 14 to 16 minutes until risen and tops appear dry and light golden brown. Without added sugar, these muffins will not turn a deep golden brown like traditional muffins; they will only becoming darker brown at the outer edges.

Let the muffins cool in the muffin pan for 5 minutes before running a butter knife around the edges of each cup. Remove the muffins and cool completley on the cooling rack.

Next step: EAT!

Happy baking, everyone!
