Light, hearty and perfectly moist, these gluten-free banana nut muffins taste are high in protein, low carb and oh-so-delicious. The ultimate breakfast or snack recipe for on-the-go!

Once I started baking with almond flour I was immediately hooked! Light, nutty, and almost buttery in texture, I love how airy and moist baked goods turn out when made with almond flour instead of traditional all-purpose white flour.

The first time I experimented with baking with almond flour was when I created these super popular Almond Flour Blueberry Muffins. If you haven’t tried them yet you must. They’re lightly sweetened, moist, and naturally gluten-free.

Most recently I decided to turn the basic gluten-free muffin recipe into a sweet and crunchy banana nut muffin.
Since bananas are naturally sweet, you don’t need a lot of added sugar to this muffin batter. In fact, I only use a little bit of honey to sweeten the entire batch.

Frequently asked questions:
What is almond flour?
Can I replace honey with maple syrup?
How long will gluten free muffins last in the freezer?
What other ingredients can be added to gluten free muffins?

For crunch, texture and healthy fats I add in chopped walnuts but you could use pecans if you wish or skip the nuts entirely.
How Long Do the Muffins Have to Cool? I suggest cooling them on a baking rack for 15 minutes

No forks required.

I never take the time to comment on these recipes but here I am. This was so simple and easy and fantastic. I don’t like added sugar in my muffins and breads so this was right up my ally! I added cinnamon, cardamon and it was perfection!!
Thank you so much Kristina!!
This recipe is a keeper! I made the muffins this afternoon and I know I will be making them again. I got 18 muffins from the recipe but I made them a bit smaller. I used less batter for each muffin cup. I also topped each one with a piece of walnut. One thing I did differently was to blend in about 1/2 of the banana then stir the rest in with the nuts.
I’m so happy you enjoyed it!!!!
