These banana caramel muffins are super easy to whip up. The only equipment you need is a large bowl, wooden spoon and a muffin tray with cases. Boom. Also, hello banana caramel, yes this is a winning flavour. If this flavour combo does not take your fancy, check out these almond and blueberry muffins or these pear and berry muffins. Mmm, so yum.
It’s winter here and this seriously means baking weather. Even up here on the Gold Coast it’s a little fresh, we don’t need heaters (wow we are lucky) so turning on the oven is very nice in winter. But also, fresh banana caramel muffins is the major win here (haha).
When you make gluten free muffins with almond meal they don’t really rise, they’re also fairly dense. So don’t be expected a fluffy muffin but be prepared for a delicious muffin!
This recipe is perfect for snacks or for breakfast, serve with peanut butter and some fresh banana or strawberries to uplevel your breakfast muffin. But if you’re in a rush or just plain old hungry, they are perfect alone (with coffee, duh).
If you do make these delicious and easy Banana Caramel Muffins we’d love to see a pic. Share a story on Instagram, yum!
Always merrymaking,
