While this Banana Bread and Muffins recipe is not low carb, swapping the traditional sweetener that is sugar for honey, and opting to use coconut oil instead of butter or vegetable oil, it a more healthier option. If you’re in need of a low carb option- I have the most delicious and nutty recipe: Almond Flour Banana Muffins. There is something magical about combining almond flour with a banana bread recipe.

Tools for Either Recipe

  • whisk
  • spatula or spoon
  • fork/spoon or both
  • measuring spoons
  • measuring Cups
  • large mixing bowl
  • small bowl
  • nonstick muffin pan(s) and/or bread pan

Instructions

  1. Combine honey & melted coconut oil to the large mixing, whisk away!
  2. Add the 2 eggs & beat well
  3. Add smashed bananas- I used a spoon and then a fork to smash it up in a measuring cup. The fork served as a small whisk just for the bananas.
  1. Add flour, “cut” with fork. Cutting flour is something I learning in my high school culinary arts class. It breaks up the flour and later makes it easier to add to the batter.
  2. Add cinnamon, baking soda & salt. Mix that up.
  3. Stir the dry mix into the rest of the batter. Switch to using a spatula or spoon. Mix until the consistency feels just right!
  4. Using the ⅓ cp, spoon batter into nonstick pan
  5. (optional) Dash some cinnamon on the top and use a toothpick to swirl it around.
  6. Bake (both) for 25 minutes. Use a toothpick to see it’s cooked through.
  7. Cool for about 10 minutes

  • The Recipe chart below is using my Super Healthy Banana Bread recipe/post, but of course you just add the batter to the muffin pans instead of the bread pan.
