The snow has melted. ALL gone. The rain is back and I'm so happy about it! I can finally walk on my sidewalk without being terrified of my feet flying out of from under me and landing on my tail bone (again). Before we completely say goodbye to that winter apocalypse though, this is the last of my "snow day" aka snow week recipes: coconut banana almond muffins!
Snow week recipe you ask? Well, these coconut banana almond muffins freeze ridiculously well. I ate them every morning for those 6 days we were pretty much stuck inside and not able to get out to the store. I was able to make them up with leftover bananas and everything else I had in my pantry! Convenience at its finest.
I also love this recipe because it's so versatile. I make these muffins with half whole wheat flour and half almond meal, both for flavor and a low carb option. You can make them completely gluten free by using just almond meal, or use AP flour if that's what floats your boat. Basically pick your favorite flour and go for it!
Another reason these coconut banana almond muffins are so healthy? No white or brown sugar! Just a little bit of honey and those mashed bananas for a touch of sweet and this recipe is golden. You can also use maple syrup, whatever is in your pantry 👍🏻.
To really jazz up this recipe, eat these coconut banana almond muffins warmed with a slather a little peanut butter, your favorite jam, or even a pat of butter on them! Recipe coming right up.

Hello! These look wwonderful! I have everything but the coconut oil. Can I sub melted butter? Or applesauce?
Thanks,
Mary

You can try butter! I wouldn't use applesauce since the oil is the fat in the recipe. You can also use canola or vegetable oil (it's just not as healthy). I havn't used butter in this recipe before so it may change the texture of the muffins but I say give it a shot!
Tim says
Where is the honey in the recipe? You discuss beforehand using honey ( or maple syrup) as a sweetener, but there is no mention of it in the recipe.
