Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness. If yours aren't ripe enough, place them in the oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes and they'll ripen right up! The riper the banana, the sweeter and more flavorful the muffins.
  • Use all-natural almond butter where the only ingredients are almonds and salt. It should need stirring when you open it — that's how you know it's the real deal. This type of almond butter gives the muffins the best flavor and texture.
  • Store with a vented aluminum foil tent, not sealed airtight. Paleo baked goods can get too moist when sealed completely. A loose foil tent allows for air circulation and keeps the texture perfect for days.
