Banana Flax Almond Meal Muffin with Blueberry
These muffins are an easy-peasy 4 STEPS! On certain mornings, I like to make about half the batch with blueberries and a few with chocolate chips to surprise the kids.
Let’s begin!
INGREDIENTS.
- 1 ¾ cup almond meal
- ¼ cup flaxseed meal
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 2 ripe/brown bananas (they can be really brown, it’s a great way to get rid of them!)
- 1 egg
- 2 Tbsps melted coconut oil
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsps full-fat coconut milk (unsweetened)
- ¼ Cup Blueberries Or topping of choice (fruit, or even dark chocolate chips) – more or less depending on preference
TOOLS/WHAT YOU’LL NEED FROM THE KITCHEN.
- 2 bowls (medium size)
- Immersion blender (optional) I like to use it for step 3. OR just use a whisk
- Whisk
- Oven
- Cupcake pan
- Cupcake paper liners or grease pan with coconut oil
STEP-BY-STEP HOW.
- Preheat oven at 350° and Bowl 1. In Bowl 1 combine: almond meal, flaxseed meal, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together and set aside.
- Bowl 2. In Bowl 2 combine: bananas, egg, coconut oil (melted), apple cider vinegar, full-fat coconut milk. Using an electric mixer, immersion blender or by hand mix well.
- Combine ingredients of both bowls and mix with spatula/spoon.
- Fold & Mix. Once all ingredients are mixed together, fold in your berries/fruit.
- Transfer & Bake. Transfer batter to muffin cups/pan, filling about ¾ of the way full. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Then enjoy!
ADDITIONAL TIPS & NOTES.
- Be curious and experiment! Play with different toppings/combinations using the banana as a base. Every once in a while I’ll make half the batter with blueberries and the other half with chocolate chips to surprise my kids.
SATISFYING FACTS.
- No refined sugar (but banana is still very sweet)
- Protein and fiber dense
- Grain, gluten, and dairy-free
- Paleo-friendly
I would love to hear if you try them and what you think. Let me know how they work for you!
