Banana almond butter muffins are made without wheat or refined sugar by using healthy ingredients like oat flour, honey, yogurt, and flax meal. All of this good stuff and they still have a great texture, are high in protein and absolutely delicious!
Add mashed banana, almond butter, honey, vanilla, eggs, and yogurt to a bowl and mix well. Make sure to use a full cup of banana.
Add cinnamon, salt, baking soda, baking powder, oat flour, flax meal, almonds, and xanthan gum (if using) to mixing bowl with wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Spray muffin tin with cooking spray or line with muffin liners.
Fill each prepared muffin tin cup with batter. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the slivered almonds on top if desired.
Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center coms out mostly clean. Be careful not to over bake!
Remove from oven and let cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing and cooling before eating.
Notes
*If making oat flour in a blender, other ingredients can be added after and blender pulsed to mix all together without dirtying another bowl.
