Description

Imagine biting into a warm, subtly sweet muffin, its tender crumb yielding with each mouthful. These muffins, crafted with green banana flour, offer a delightful twist on the traditional baked treat. The flour itself, derived from unripe bananas, lends a unique, slightly earthy note that complements the creamy richness of peanut butter.

A hint of vanilla and a whisper of lemon juice brighten the overall flavor, creating a balanced and harmonious profile. The addition of cinnamon infuses a comforting warmth, making these muffins perfect for a cozy morning or a satisfying afternoon snack. These muffins boast a wonderfully moist and slightly dense texture, a testament to the unique properties of green banana flour.

They are substantial enough to satisfy, yet light enough to leave you feeling energized rather than weighed down. The natural sweetness of the banana flour is subtly enhanced, providing a guilt-free indulgence that won't leave you craving more sugar. For those seeking a different flavor profile, a variety of nut butters can be used to replace peanut butter, such as almond or cashew.

Feel free to experiment with additional spices to further customize the flavor. A pinch of clove, a dash of nutmeg, or a hint of cardamom can add depth and complexity. Extracts like banana or almond can also be incorporated for a more pronounced flavor.

For added texture and visual appeal, consider incorporating chopped nuts such as pumpkin seeds, walnuts, or pecans. Their crunchy texture contrasts beautifully with the soft crumb of the muffins. To preserve their freshness, store cooled muffins in an airtight container.

They can be refrigerated for up to a week or frozen for longer storage, ensuring you always have a delicious and convenient snack on hand. These muffins are a delightful treat on their own, but they also pair well with a variety of accompaniments. Enjoy them with a dollop of your favorite nut butter or a smear of salted butter for an extra layer of richness.

For a more substantial breakfast, consider pairing them with a savory egg dish. These muffins are incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed any time of day. Their unique flavor and satisfying texture make them a welcome addition to any table.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat an oven to 350 F. Mash ripe bananas in a medium-sized mixing bowl with the peanut butter using a fork or potato masher. The bananas will still be lumpy in spots.
    2.
    Next, add the eggs and vanilla, then mix until blended.
    3.
    Add in the dry ingredients, including the banana flour, powdered sweetener, cinnamon, kosher salt, and baking soda. Mix until combined using a rubber spatula.
    4.
    Finally, add in the almond milk and mix with the rubber spatula until thoroughly combined. Line a 12 count muffin tin with cupcake liners. Then using a cookie scoop, divide the dough evenly into each cupcake liner.
    5.
    Bake the muffins for 15 to 17 minutes until fully cooked and lightly golden. Allow them to cool slightly in the pan before attempting to remove them. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or in the refrigerator for up to one week.
