    Let's get together and eat almond flour banana muffins right meow, k?

    If you're just getting started with gluten-free eating and baking, then you're gonna want to make these muffins.

    Why?

    Because this gluten free muffin recipe is perfect way to get to "know" almond flour when you enter into the wide-wide world of gluten-free baking. You've gotta meet it! Almond flour doesn't behave like regular wheat flour but that's okay😄

    These banana and oat muffins with almond flour are still moist, have a great mouthfeel and texture (thanks chopped walnuts!) and are super delicious and healthy.

    This was inspired by my recipe for Almond Flour Blackberry Muffins so check those out too.

    And if you love healthy and easy gluten free muffin recipes, then be sure to bookmark these Healthy Chocolate Muffins with Greek Yogurt (Gluten Free), Healthy Cranberry Oatmeal Muffins and Healthy Gluten Free Apple Muffins with Cinnamon.

    📝Ingredients

    Here's what you'll need to make these almond flour banana muffins:

    • Almond flour - this is simply blanched, ground almonds. I like to buy mine from the Bulk Barn. Bob's Red Mill also offers a super fine almond flour.
    • Gluten-free rolled oats - gives structure, mouthfeel and major nutrition
    • Baking powder - helps the muffins to rise up a bit
    • Salt
    • Mashed, overripe bananas - because these muffins have no oil, these mashed bananas not only provide potassium, fibre and magnesium, they bring some natural sweetness and structure to the muffin
    • Eggs - for structure and help a bit with rising
    • Greek yogurt (unsweetened) - you know I'm gonna jam-pack as much nutrition as possible into muffins and high-protein Greek yogurt will do that😄
    • Maple syrup - for a little hint of sweetness
    • Vanilla extract
    • Chopped walnut pieces - the little crunchy texture that the walnuts gives is just perfection

    See recipe card for quantities.

    🥣Instructions

    These almond flour banana muffins are simple to make.

    Here's the overview of steps but see the recipe card below for detailed instructions

    Combine the almond flour, oats, baking powder and salt into one bowl.

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla.

    Combine the wet and dry ingredients into 1 bowl. Stir until just combined. Add chopped walnut pieces and give a final stir.

    Divide between muffin cups and bake in the oven at 350 degress F for ~25 minutes.

    Hint: I have found that almond flour muffins REALLY stick to paper muffin cup liners so recommend using silicone baking cup liners when baking with almond flour.

    🔪Equipment

    For this recipe you'll need a 12-cup muffin tin, a couple mixing bowls, measuring cups, measuring spoons, a whisk or large spoon, and a cooling rack.

    These healthy muffins have no oil and are packed with healthy ingredients.

    🥡Storage and freezing

    These almond flour banana muffins are fine on the counter for 2-3 days in an air-tight container but after that, keep them in the fridge. They'll last longer - up to 4 days.

    And they freeze beautifully - just pop them into an air-tight container and into the freezer. You can freeze them for up to 3 months. Just thaw out overnight or a few hours on the counter and warm gently if you want, in the microwave.

    ✅Trick for baking with almond flour

    If your almond flour is lumpy or not "fine", you can sift it to get a better consistency. Using a fine mesh sifter, sift the almond flour into a large bowl.

    Push through any large chunks. Then from that bowl of sifted almond flour, spoon into the measuring cup what you need for this recipe.

    Hope you love these banana almond flour muffins like we do❣️
