Gluten Free Banana-Almond muffins (and pancakes!)





Inspired by the flavor of almond butter and bananas, I decided to bake this morning, and created pancakes and muffins.

1.5 cups almond flour (aka almond meal)
2 mashed up bananas
2 eggs, room temp
2 tablespoons almond butter
3 tablespoons milk (any kind, almond, etc)
1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave
Dash of salt

Preheat oven to 350. Mash bananas, add almond butter, syrup and eggs, keep mashing. Combine salt and almond flour and stir into your wet mixture. Stir and let sit for a minute or two. Spoon into muffin tray and bake for 25 minutes until a fork comes out clean. Top with a slice of banana or drizzle of almond butter and a whole almond on top!


Now remember, almond flour has just as much fat and protein as almonds, and bananas are carby - so you're looking at about 150 calories per muffin, 10g fat, 5 g protein, 15-20g carb. Still, they are healthy as a balanced breakfast and super delicious! It's probably about the same as eating oatmeal with almonds & syrup or rice cakes and almond butter and jelly.

Enjoy! Os quiero muchísimo!
