Ingredients:
- 2 & ½ cup almond flour
- 1/2 tsp salt

How to Store Leftover Keto Banana Muffins:
These keto banana nut muffins can be kept in the pantry for 3-4 days or in the refrigerator for 5-7 days in an airtight container. If you’ve been storing them in the fridge, you should probably reheat them in the oven or microwave before eating.
If you know, you won’t be able to finish these keto banana nut muffins within a few days; you can always freeze them. You can keep those sugar-free banana muffins in a freezer bag for a good two months or more. Take out of the freezer at least one hour before eating.
Tips For Keto Banana Muffins:
- You may use your preferred granulated sweetener. Muffins made with monk fruit or erythritol will be lighter.
- You can substitute butter for coconut oil if you like.
- If desired, you may substitute maple syrup, honey, or coconut sugar.
- The muffins should be cooled on a cooling rack rather than in the muffin pan. This will prevent their bottoms from becoming soggy.
- Ensure that your eggs have reached room temperature. This prevents the butter from hardening during the mixing process.
- You need a banana extract, not banana flavoring. When baking, you shouldn’t use banana food flavoring.
