Ingredients
Scale
For the muffins:
- about 1/3 cup cashews – you need 1/4 cup cashew meal
- 2 ripe bananas (the browner the better!)
- 1/4 cup melted ghee (or butter if you’re not paleo)
- 1/4 cup almond butter (or cashew butter)
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 pinch sea salt
For the crumble topping:
- 1/2 Tablespoon ghee, softened (or butter if you’re not paleo)
- 1 Tablespoon coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a muffin tin well or place muffin liners inside 6 of the wells.
- To make the cashews into meal, place about 1/3 cup of cashews into a blender or food processor and process until you have fine crumbs.
- Mash the bananas in a bowl and add 1/4 cup melted butter, almond butter, 1/4 cup of coconut sugar, vanilla, and eggs. Stir everything together well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cashew flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon, nutmeg and sea salt. Pour this dry mixture into the wet and mix until everything is incorporated.
- Pour the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling about 6 of the wells 2/3 of the way full. Before placing them into the oven, make the crumble topping. Combine the reaming 1/2 Tablespoon of softened butter, remaining Tablespoon of coconut sugar, and the remaining teaspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle over the muffins evenly.
- Bake for 22-26 minutes, or until the muffins look set and a toothpick comes out dry. Let them cool on a wire rack before gobbling up!
Notes
- this recipe has also been tested with coconut oil in place of butter and it works well!
