Paleo Banana Muffins
Author: Larry
Recipe type: Breakfast
Prep time: 30 mins
Cook time: 25 mins
Total time: 55 mins
Serves: 12
4 bananas, (2½ cups mashed or 575 grams)(they can be yellow bananas) 4 eggs ½ cup almond butter (140 grams)(or coconut, sunflower seed, macadamia, etc) 4 tablespoons grass-fed butter, melted (can substitute coconut oil) ½ cup coconut flour (75 grams)(or almond flour, macadamia nut meal, etc) 1 tablespoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon vanilla pinch of sea salt
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit Combine your bananas, eggs, and nut butter, and grass-fed butter in a blendtec, blender, food processor, or mixing bowl and mix well (if using a mixing bowl you need a good hand-mixer) Once all of your ingredients are blended, add in your coconut flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla, and sea salt and mix well Grease a 9×5 glass (see notes) loaf pan with a fat of your choice (I used grass-fed butter). If you use a metal pan it will probably bake in 35-40 minutes so start checking at 35 to ensure the middle stays moist Pour in your batter and spread it evenly throughout Place in your preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean Remove from oven and flip your bread out onto a cooling rack Slice and serve * I make these as muffins, cook time is about 25 minutes.
