Today I had a fun time experimenting with almond flour muffins. I wanted to make a healthy-ish breakfast muffin, so I started with a basic recipe from my grandmother. I had to do a lot of substituting: almond flour instead of regular flour, banana instead of egg and grape seed oil instead of canola oil. I added an extra banana half some pecans and a dash of mini chocolate chips to add flavor. My biggest feat with these muffins was not adding sugar! The recipe called for a lot of sugar which I thought I could just do a little honey instead, but I became determined to have no sugar in these muffins! (Well, except for 1/4 cup of mini dark chocolate chips!)
Here's the final result:
They came out a little mushy on the inside, which must have been because of all the banana. Next time I will just lower the oven temperature and add more time for them to bake. It might also help to take out some of the oil to make things a little drier. The flavor is definitely right though, I wish I'd had some raisins to add because that would have been really great (and healthier than the dark chocolate chips). After another experiment I will share the recipe!
