Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 3 large ripe bananas: Overripe bananas provide natural sweetness and a moist texture.
- 3 large eggs: These bind the ingredients and give the muffins structure.
- 3 cups almond flour: Blanched almond flour works best for a light texture.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Enhances flavor.
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon: Adds warmth and depth of flavor.
- 1 teaspoon baking soda: Helps the muffins rise.
- ½ teaspoon baking powder: Assists in leavening.
- ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans: For added texture and nutrition.
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips (optional): Adds sweetness without refined sugars.
- Pinch of salt: Balances the flavors and enhances the sweetness of the bananas.

Instructions for Baking the Perfect Muffins:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- Mash the bananas in a medium bowl until smooth.
- In a large bowl, combine almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just mixed.
- Fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips, if using.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
