Banana Bread Muffins--Grain- and Sugar-free

[shanmonster]

I'm getting better at this flourless baking thing. Today, I tried out a new recipe. This one is adapted from this recipe.

Enjoy!

• 1 1/2 cup ground almonds
  
• 2 Tbsp ground flaxseed
  
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
  
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
  
• pinch of nutmeg
  
• pinch of salt
  
• 2 very ripe bananas, mashed
  
• 2 eggs
  
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
  
• 1/3 cup chopped pecans
  
• dried banana or additional pecans for optional topper

Heat oven to 375. Place muffin liners in muffin tin and set aside.

In a large bowl, mix ground almonds, flaxseed, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt.

In another bowl, mix mashed bananas, eggs, and olive oil.

Dump the wet mixture into the dry and stir until combined. Stir in the pecans.

Fill muffin cups about 3/4 of the way. Sprinkle additional nuts or poke a banana chip into the top of each one. Bake for 21-23 minutes, or until toothpick poked in comes out clean.

Makes 6 giant muffins, or about a dozen regular sized ones.
