Here on Wholesome Yum, we’ve got lots of keto muffin recipes.

If you miss your favorite bakery muffins or just longing for bananas on keto, sugar-free banana muffins with almond flour will hit the spot. With just a few keto pantry ingredients and 30 minutes, these are easy to make and enjoy quickly.
Shhhh, keto banana nut muffins don’t contain any actual banana, but they sure taste like it. Just like the bakery ones you might be missing. Grab your blanched almond flour and your allulose, and let’s get baking! Ready to make the best keto banana nut muffins?
Line 10 of the muffin tins with parchment paper liners. TIP: For taller, bakery-style muffins, we’re making 10 muffins instead of the usual 12. In a large bowl, stir together almond flour, allulose, baking powder, and sea salt. TIP: Make sure your eggs are at room temperature. This will prevent the butter from solidifying as you mix. Distribute the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
Bake until the top is golden and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. TIP: Cool the muffins on a cooling rack rather than inside the muffin tin. This will prevent them from getting soggy on the bottom. With flour, sugar, and bananas, regular banana muffins are high in carbs and definitely not keto.
But this keto banana muffin recipe is keto friendly! Yes, this low carb banana muffin recipe is healthy! While many traditional banana muffins are made with white flour and sugar, these easy keto banana bread muffins are made with wholesome almond flour and allulose. Can You Use Coconut Flour For This Recipe?
No, I don’t recommend coconut flour for this recipe. They would turn out very dry and you’d need multiple other modifications. If you can’t have almonds, you’d be better off tweaking this coconut flour muffin recipe to remove the blueberries and add banana extract. No, I don’t recommend using almond meal.
You need blanched almond flour like this one. Using almond meal would result in a more grainy, cornmeal-like texture. Can You Use A Different Sweetener? No, you can use any granulated sweetener, but the result will be different. Other sweeteners can be used, the muffins just won’t be as moist. If you want to use something else, use the keto sweetener conversion calculator to check the amount.
Can You Make These Muffins Ahead? I don’t recommend storing the raw batter because the baking powder will lose it’s effectiveness if you don’t bake right away. It’s best to bake the muffins and then store them, ready-to-eat. How To Store Low Carb Banana Muffins Store these keto banana nut muffins in an airtight container in the pantry for 3-4 days, or in the fridge for 5-7 days. It’s best to reheat them before eating, in the oven or microwave, if you’re storing them in the fridge.
