Banana Almond Muffins

Its been a long time since I've come across a muffin recipe without grains, and without eggs, that still had a yummy gooey center with a crispy muffin top. I came across this recipe trying to make almond pancakes, they didn't turn out how i had planned so i put the rest of the batter into a muffin tin to see if my almond mixture wasn't a complete failure, and to my surprise, it wasn't!

Banana Almond Muffins

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• Pinch salt
• 1/2 cup mashed banana - about 1 big banana
• 2 tsp vanilla essence
• 1/4 cup maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
• 1/2 cup milk of choice - i used coconut milk

• 1 Tbs linseed's
• 2 Tbs warm water

1. Preheat oven to 180c
2. In a small bowl, or cup, combine the linseeds with the water and put aside.
3. In a separate bowl, combine almond flour with baking powder, baking soda and salt.
4.  In a new bowl again, mix together the banana, vanilla, maple syrup or sweetener and milk.
5. Combine your wet ingredients to your dry ingredients (including the linseed's and water).
6. Grease or line a muffin tin and pour in batter (it wont rise too much).
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
8. Let cool before taking them out of their tin

I topped these with berries, you could also use some melted coconut butter (maybe with some extra maple syrup) or even try using my Raw Chocolate Fudge recipe as icing!
