Super-simple gluten free and sugarfree banana muffins perfect for a nourishing snack or naturally sweet treat.

These moist, naturally-sweetened muffins can also be made nut free by using coconut milk instead of nut milk.

I like to make a batch of these and freeze them for simple lunch box snacks or for morning/ afternoon tea. They contain no added sugars or sweeteners, just the natural sweetness of banana.

    Any substitute for coconut flour?

      Hi Meghana,
      Great question. The coconut flour is unique in its baking action so you can use almond meal but at double quantity. Here is a banana muffin recipe that uses almond meal instead: https://livelovenourish.com.au/recipe/banana-nut-muffins/
      For nut free of the almond meal recipe you can use tigernut flour or sunflower seed meal instead. Does this help?

      I have substituted Brown rice flour for the coconut floursuccessfully.
