Banana Almond Butter Muffins (gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free)

Banana Almond Butter Muffins (gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free)

I like to make this healthy grain-free muffin recipe after my children go to sleep at night so they have something nourishing to eat for breakfast—especially helpful on really busy mornings! The other day my daughter wanted to know how much protein each muffin had so she worked out how many grams of protein each ingredient contained and then divided the total number by 12. She came up with 6.3 grams per muffin, not bad.

I generally use roasted almond butter in my baking recipes, including the recipes in my new Nourishing Meals cookbook. The brand I like to use for these baking recipes is Zinke Orchards. Although this almond butter is not certified organic it does come from spray-free almonds. For snacking or for raw recipes I like to use raw organic or raw sprouted almond butter.

Creamy roasted almond butter makes such a great base for grain-free baked goods! The texture and flavor of these muffins are best once they have completely cooled. Serve with raw honey and butter, and a mug of herbal tea. These also make a great snack to take with you while traveling, or pack one in your child's lunchbox!

Ingredients
1 cups creamy roasted almond butter
4 large eggs
2 medium bananas (ripe)
¼ cups maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
6 tablespoons coconut flour

½ teaspoons sea salt

  2. Place all ingredients into a food processor fitted with the "s" blade and process until smooth.
  3. Scoop batter into muffin cups.
  4. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

All of the to-go containers are biodegradable too!
