Ingredients

Dry ingredients

1 cup + ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons super fine almond flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt

Wet ingredients

½ cup mashed ripe banana about one large
1 large egg
¼ cup packed golden brown sugar
2 tablespoons almond butter smooth or use peanut butter
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Additional ingredients

¼ cup chopped walnuts plus more for topping
2 tablespoons semi sweet chocolate chips plus more for topping

Instructions

Pre heat oven to 350°F and line a standard muffin pan with 6 paper liners.
Whisk together all dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
Add all wet ingredients into a larger bowl and whisk until smooth. Stir in the dry ingredients, followed by chopped walnuts and chocolate chips. Mix until evenly combined.
Tip: Sometimes, store bought natural almond butter, will have a layer of oil settled on the top and it needs to be stirred well, before using.
Divide batter into the prepared muffin pan (makes 6 muffins), top with additional chopped walnuts and chocolate chips.
Bake for 23 to 27 minutes or until done (a toothpick in the middle of muffin should come clean).
Tip: I recommend checking at the lower end of the cooking time, because almond flour recipes cook faster than recipes using wheat flour.
Place pan in a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use over ripe bananas – Ugly over ripe bananas (dark yellow skin with lots of brown spots).

Use super fine almond flour and not almond meal. The latter will yield a much denser muffin since it contains the skin as well.
