Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 250g / 2 ½ cups blanched almond flour
- 100g / ½ cup granulated allulose (use 150g / ¾ cup for sweeter muffins)
- 75g / ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
- 80ml / ⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 75g / ¾ cup walnuts, chopped
- 1 ½ tsps baking powder
- 1 tsp banana extract
- ¼ tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat Preparation: Configure the oven to 180°C / 350°F and strategically position muffin liners in a standard pan, accommodating 10-12 muffins depending on desired size.
- Dry Ingredient Fusion: Methodically blend almond flour, allulose, baking powder, and sea salt in a generous mixing vessel, ensuring uniform ingredient integration and eliminating potential clumping.
- Moisture Incorporation: Amalgamate melted butter, almond milk, eggs, and banana extract into the dry mixture, whisking until a seamless, velvety batter emerges with consistent texture and zero lumps.
- Textural Enhancement: Delicately integrate chopped walnuts throughout the batter, distributing them evenly to maximize flavor profile and provide delightful crunch in each bite.
- Portioning and Decoration: Carefully allocate batter into prepared liners, filling approximately two-thirds full, and generously crown each muffin with additional walnut fragments to create an appetizing, rustic appearance.
- Baking Transformation: Position the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, watching for a rich golden-brown coloration and verifying doneness through a clean toothpick test when inserted into the muffin’s core.
Notes
- Measure Precisely: Use exact measurements for almond flour and allulose to maintain the low-carb structure and ensure consistent texture.
- Banana Extract Trick: Select high-quality banana extract to deliver authentic banana flavor without adding extra carbohydrates from real bananas.
- Walnut Distribution: Fold walnuts gently to prevent sinking to the bottom, creating an even nutty crunch throughout the muffins.
- Moisture Management: Check muffins at 20-minute mark to prevent over-baking, which can result in dry, crumbly texture typical of low-carb baked goods.
