Flourless Banana Bread Muffins
Anyone else get caught up in the great deals at Costco and buy way. too. much. freaking. stuff? I just did that with bananas and got like 15 GREEN bananas. I thought I could use a few in smoothies till the rest were completely ripe and get through the batch. W-R-O-N-G. We left our blinds up overnight (which is a no-no in our house, the morning sun just bakes our fruit basket and there's no where for it to hide) so I woke up the next day to 15 BROWN...like no yellow to be found, bananas and tons of fruit flies.
My family loves bananas and I have a lot of healthy repines pinned on Pinterest, but I wanted to mix it up a bit, so I searched 21 day fix recipes + banana bread and found this. Now, I want to caution you on this...Beachbody does not publish these recipes so you're at the mercy of whoever writes these and hoping that they understand 21 day fix and aren't just trying to get hashtag search results. A lot of the recipes I've clicked on aren't even key ingredients y'all. It's a little humorous, but mostly sad.
I modified this recipe quite a bit because I wanted more protein, a few more carbs (yeah, I said that) and less sugar. I know, eye roll, but y'all, I got plans and sugar gets me 110% derailed. One taste and I'm addicted all over again!
Here's what I used in mine:
2 eggs
3/4 c quick oats
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
2 bananas, the browner the better
1 TBSP honey
1/4 c creamy nut butter (any will do)
2 TBSP ground flaxseed
1/4 c almond flour / meal
Portion out evenly to fill 8 pre-sprayed muffin tins. If you want to add nuts or chocolate chips, go for it, but my container counts are for only the ingredients above. You could throw all this in a blender and just pour, super easily, but I already had the bananas in the bowl when I thought of that :/ Bake 375 for about 10 minutes, but watch since all ovens are different. I made these in Australia using celsius so this is my best guess for American oven conversion :)
Yields 8 muffins, 2 muffins / serving. 21-day fix container counts are 1P, 1Y, .5R, 4 tsp
