Usually, when I share recipes it has a tropical sumpin’ sumpin’. OK, these do have banana’s and coconut so legitimately, it does fall into the tropical theme… but I just have to say; this one blew me away how much guests adored it. Not only were the muffins gone immediately I had one guest come down and give me a huge hug and another confessed she froze two for her plane ride home. I was also asked for the recipe by a few so I made it again, as a double test, and decided to share here as I know my friend Johanna will want it too. With only a few trials of gluten free under my belt… these Banana Date Coconut & Almond Flour Muffins were a hit and shall now be a regular.
I ran up to take a photo… just in case they were a success and these two lonely muffins were all that were left.

- Put in blender; eggs, coconut oil, honey, bananas, and vanilla. Blend until smooth.
- Pour blender ingredients over dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
- Spoon batter evenly into 12 muffin cups filling super full as when they come out of the oven they ‘deflate’.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20 – 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
