Warm and comforting with a touch of sweetness and whole grain goodness, these Banana Chip Almond Butter Muffins are a dessert worthy treat healthy enough for breakfast. Once you’ve made a batch, breakfast becomes a breeze. 

I know you all want easy so that’s what you’ll get. Besides, trying to figure out just WHAT to eat on a plant-based diet can be confusing enough, right?

Maybe you want to start off the new year with an emphasis on health so you’ve come to the right place. But, I digress. What exactly is it that makes these muffins so delish?

They start off with banana and almond butter with a touch of maple syrup and coconut or date sugar. Add optional non-dairy chocolate chips and/or chopped walnuts and you’re almost there.

Banana Chip Almond Muffins

This recipe was contributed by Certified Nutrition Counselor, Donna Manquen, who teaches a 12-week program she developed and teaches to students who are mostly referred from physician offices.

She says, “I am constantly tweaking the program based on feedback from students, but the results for those who really commit have been phenomenal.” What a great testimonial to her program!

    When you call for Almond Butter in a recipe do you use almond butter made from almond oil or and almond butter spread?

      Hi Linda, I use almond butter spread made from fresh almonds either roasted or raw and no added oil, just the natural oil in almonds. 👍
