Default Candice's Low Carb Banana Muffins

Candice’s Low Carb Banana Muffins

So if you low carb you know that banana’s are FAR from being low carb! Well when you only eat 1/10 of a medium size banana it really is not that bad.
I’ve been dreaming of banana bread lately.. so here is the recipe I came up.
Really the 1 banana is plenty for good banana taste. The peanut flour adds a bit of a peanut butter flavor which plays well with the banana! These muffins are definitely a yummy treat! So moist and just really SO good!
Great for a quick breakfast or snack!

Hope you enjoy!

Candice, I read a lot of your recipes and just wanted to comment on something different than usual - your product photography is excellent!! I look at the recipes sometimes JUST to see the photos. :-) Great job on the recipes and the photos!

Just made these this morning for my muffin-lovin', moderate carb husband. He is grinning from ear to ear.

WOW Candice! These are great.

They have a wonderfully delicate texture, so I'd definitely use muffin papers. The ones I baked in my silicone muffin pan lost some of their bottoms.

Awesome hun!! Glad you all enjoyed!
Yeah silicone is known for not browning all that great.. so not the greatest for baking muffins or cupcakes. If you can, bake in a metal cupcake/muffin tin for better results

Update I had to share:

Just now I revealed (TAH DAH!) that these were low carb muffins.

Dear Husband was like, "Really? Come on. Don't tease me that way. Really?"



Poor guy has tried a few of the "chewing on a kitchen sponge" kind of low carb goody.
