[Healthy] Almond & Banana Muffins



ONCE again I have let fruit languish without proper care or consumption.

Apparently I'm too cool for the cool raw-food movement!

When it comes to mushy, brown, old banana's I'm secretly cheering inside when we're unable to eat them in time. There are some perfect banana baking recipes around (the most obvious go-to being Nate's beloved banana bread).


But, that is not where we're headed today... Instead, I have had my eye on a pretty looking Almond & Banana muffin recipe care-of Honest Fare. It's particularly appealing because of the "healthy" element - no butter, oil or flour. The fresh-made almond meal & mushy banana's do all the work...


 [This is a more honest shot of my shameful banana situation. Nooot so shiny & yellow...]

The extra beauty of this recipe is it's almost entirely prepared in a food processor - no other kitchen utensils required aside from a mixing bowl & muffin tins. Being a self-confessed lazy-baker, this is music to my ears!


If you're feeling a wee-bit inspired, you can add the chocolately, cocoa brown center - a lil something extra that I was pleased to see actually worked [again, the lazy-baker in me usually skips such "trickery"].



These muffins are dense but not dry. Healthy tasting but not dull. A fulfilling little snack, with enough sweetness to satisfy but not cause jiggly-belly guilt!

I am a fan.
