Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup coconut yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or melted butter
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or a pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with liners or grease it well. Yes, the odor of disaster is real if you skip this step.
  • In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. A few tiny lumps are fine—this isn’t a baby food contest.
  • Whisk in the eggs, yogurt, melted oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Combine until glossy and smooth. No dry pockets hiding in the corners.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together coconut flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and optional spices. Coconut flour soaks up liquid, so don’t skip this step.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until combined. Don’t overmix—texture should be fluffy, not a gluey mess.
  • Scoop batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling about 2/3 full. If you want extra height, a tiny sprinkle of coconut flour on top helps, but not mandatory.
  • Bake 18–22 minutes, until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean. If you smell toasty goodness but it’s not done, give it a few more minutes.
  • Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Resist the urge to devour immediately—they’ll be extra fragile right out of the oven.
