Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In a medium bowl, mash the banana with a fork until smooth. Add the eggs and whisk to combine. Stir in the melted butter, vanilla extract, and banana extract if using.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chopped walnuts, reserving a few pieces for topping.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Top each with a few walnut pieces.
  7. Bake for 20-22 minutes, until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Let muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Storage: Room temperature for 2-3 days (shorter due to banana), refrigerate for 1 week, or freeze for 3 months.
Banana size matters: Use one SMALL ripe banana. A large banana will add too many carbs. The banana should have lots of brown spots for maximum sweetness.
Banana extract: This optional ingredient boosts banana flavor without adding carbs. Find it in the baking aisle.
Not quite keto: At 6g net carbs, these are higher than our other muffins. Stick to one if you're counting carefully.
Nut-free option: Omit walnuts or substitute with sugar-free chocolate chips.
