How to Make Our Low-Carb Banana Oat Muffins
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tray with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
Step 2: Mash the Bananas
In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. A few small chunks are perfectly fine and add texture.
Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients
Whisk in the eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, and sweetener until fully combined.
Step 4: Add the Dry Ingredients
Stir in the almond flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix gently until a thick muffin batter forms.
If using add-ins like walnuts or sugar-free chocolate chips, fold them in now.
Step 5: Fill the Muffin Cups
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Step 6: Bake Until Golden
Bake for 18–22 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before serving.
