Good Morning beauties! Happy Thursday!
Hope your enjoying the day so far! We’re almost at the weekend.
Since coming across coconut flour, I can’t get enough of it. The novelty of this versatile flour hasn’t warn off quite yet. I’ve seen it used in various ways and have, myself used it in all types of different meals.
There is nothing more satisfying than eating a warm freshly baked, big ol’ muffin to enjoy for a snack. These aren’t your average muffins from the baker though, because they are 100% healthy.
For the muffins, I knew I wanted something with bananas and yogurt; as I had 2 bananas seriously hanging on their last legs, and had about 1/2 cup left over yogurt, so decided to try to use these ingredients up in a muffin recipe. I also knew I wanted something easy, I didn’t really know how these would turn out since I didn’t follow a specific recipe, but luckily they turned out splendid!
Banana Muffins (makes 5 big muffins) [Gluten And Sugar-Free]
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons brown rice flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup protein powder (I wouldn’t recommend using whey protein powder, it turns baked goods sort of rubbery)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon stevia + 20 or so drops of vanilla nunaturals stevia drops (adjust to your desired sweetness)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon egg whites
- 1 tablespoon almond milk
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup pumpkin (you could replace with applesauce, or mashed zucchini, or any veggie/fruit mashed)
- 1.5 bananas (mashed)
mix dry 
mix wet 
the dough
Preheat your oven to 375. Mix together the first 5 ingredients. Mash the bananas and pumpkin together, and combine the rest of the wet ingredients. Then mix the dry ingredients into the wet. Do not over mix. Grab a 1/2 cup measuring cup and spoon 1/2 cup of the mixture into each of the muffin tins. I suggest coating the tins with a light coat of coconut oil (I used about 1/2 teaspoon in total). Bake for approximately 25 minutes.
Alternatively, you can make these into 10 mini muffins instead of 5 big muffins. Just decrease the cooking time a little.
The result? Delicious, BIG muffins, that left me oh so satisfied.
Of course, one had to be sampled right out of the oven to make sure they were blog worthy today. Yum.
I enjoyed these outside, alongside the gorgeous weather we were presented with today.

Rewinding to this morning, I enjoyed some hot almond milk with raw coconut butter as a morning snack.
What’s your favourite type of muffin?
Hope you all enjoy this beautiful day!

i just ordered some coconut flour for the first time the other day. can’t wait to get it so i can make these! yum!
I am seriously in love with it! It’s so dang delicious!
Coconut flour IS amazing, so versatile.
I really want to try making these muffins,probably using shredded zucchini in place of pumkin. I can tell from the picture that I’d be all over the texture of these:).
I don’t think I can just pick 1 favourite muffin- banana, choc chip, raison bran , blueberry, lemon poppyseed… There’s too many good flavours!
Xxx
I agree! It works in just about anything! There are way too many great flavours of muffins, correct on that one! I want to try out blueberry muffins next, can you believe I’ve never actually had one before!?
Muffins are one of my all time favorite foods! Trader Joe’s makes a variety of whole wheat and bran muffins that are fabulous. Carrot raisin, raisin bran, or pumpkin are definitely my two favorites! These look delicious!
Muffins are always a good choice!
Aw, making me so jealous with your TJ’s haha 
I’ve actually never ever been in one before, we don’t have any in Canada! Not cool!
Those look amazing! I will definitely have to try them! I have never tried coconut flour…sounds interesting! Just found your blog and love it

Currently drooling….
Dang! I just peeled and froze my last two brown bananas. These look GOOD.
I actually used frozen bananas in these! I just melted them in the microwave first! They were for sure keepers
Yummy yum yum! I really need to find some coconut flour; I’ve heard great things about it.
Hmmm my fav muffin would probably be banana, too.
I agree, you should pick some up!
It is definitely the best.
Do you know the muffin man?! Haha! Remember that song?!
These muffins look good! I never make muffins, I just wish I did more but the boys would never help me eat them all if they were healthy ones, lol.
Happy Thursday love! <3
Haha. Of course I remember that song! It reminds me of the Shrek movie for some reason. I can imagine the boys thinking you were nuts for making muffins like these
My family thinks the same way when I cook hah. Have a great day!xo
Sounds like they have an amazing texture.
Definitely the best I’ve experienced while using coconut flour so far!
