KETO BANANA NUT MUFFINS

Let’s just address the big banana in the room right off the bat. I would argue that actual bananas are not a great option for Keto. Why? Because, according to a quick Google search, one medium banana contains 27 grams of total carbs! Even if you took a banana and split it between several servings, that’s still more carbs that I’d like for a recipe!

That doesn’t mean I don’t love the flavor of bananas. Even my husband, Joe, loved the flavor, and he’s “allergic” to bananas (self-diagnosed).

*cough* he just dislikes them *cough*

This recipe uses banana extract to achieve that delicious banana-y taste. I was admittedly a bit skeptical at first, but it works! You can find it at any grocery store near the spices and things like vanilla extract, or you can buy it online.

ingredients

• muffin battter
• 1 1/4 Cup almond flour (I use this)
• 1/2 Cup powdered erythritol (I use this)
