Grain Free Banana Muffins

Last updated on July 4, 2022 By Anna 3 Comments This post may contain affiliate links.

I'm still playing with the coconut and almond flours I bought last month, and these Grain Free Banana Muffins are the latest experiment.  Along with the two flours, the main ingredients are bananas, eggs and honey, so as you can imagine the muffins are very soft and rich.

Grain Free Banana Muffins = More Eggs

If you've done some grain free baking, especially with coconut flour, you probably know that coconut flour recipes tend to call for more eggs. This recipe is no exception in that it makes only 6 muffins and uses two eggs. Because of the extra protein, moisture and bulk they add, I like the extra eggs. However, I've noticed that when the muffins are still warm from the oven, the eggs tend to be more noticeable. Thus, I've learned to let the muffins cool completely before digging in. The texture settles a bit and becomes more like traditional wheat bread muffins.

Grain Free Banana Muffins

Overall, I like these a lot and will definitely make them again. This version doesn't include chocolate chips, but I have made a few batches with chips and they make the muffins even better. No surprise there!

    I don't have coconut flout. I wonder if using all almond meal would work? My nephew is GF and would probably like these.

    We make GF muffins all the time and the kids don't care. I don't think I've tried grain free, at least for them. And definitely have to add chocolate chips!
