  1. Great recipe! I’ll be making these again. Slowly trying to eat a cleaner diet with lower carbs and less wheat in general. I followed the recipe & added the semi-sweet dark chocolate chips and some chopped walnuts in half the recipe – those were way better! Heading to check out your other recipes now. Thank you 🙂

  2. I love these muffins. I made them with chocolate chips and my picky children eat them for breakfast. I use 3 ripe bananas and 3 eggs and bake them for 15 minutes and they are perfect!! They are moist and delicious. If you use very ripe bananas(and of course chocolate chips) they are sweet enough.

  3. Just recently made these and they are delicious! It’s hard finding paleo muffins and they actually taste like a muffins! Will be making them on a regular basis!!

  4. I am just making these and added a little protein powder to them. I also swapped the coconut flour for sunflower flour so will be interesting to see how they turn out. The batter was pretty wet. Fingers crossed for a great result

  5. Made these today dark chocolate in half the batter. They are awesome! Even my picky 4 yr old loves them! Thanks for the recipe! Definitely a keeper.

  6. This recipe makes really nice muffins. I added a few drops of stevia. The choc chips and banana make a delicious combination. Will be making again. ????

    1. I make these all the time! My husband and I just LOVE THEM!!

    1. 1 muffin. The recipe makes 12 muffins and each serving is 1 muffin.

  7. Yum! I didn’t add any chocolate chips but did add a bit more cinnamon and splenda, which gave it the perfect amount of sweetness. It was just what I was looking for! Thanks 🙂

  8. These are great! The only issue is, as someone else mentioned, there is way too much batter for 12 muffins… I just put the rest in a pan and baked as a big cookie… no problem. I also added some honey on this batch… waiting to see how they are!!

  9. These muffins came out great, just took a little longer to cook and I did turn the pan around after cooking for 18 minutes and cooked another 3 minutes. Then I let them sit for about 20 minutes in the pan before removing them. They are so good! I also added in Butterscotch Chips instead of Chocolate and I also added in 1/4 cup Hemp Seeds. Delicious! Also I used the Coconut Flour as called for in the recipe.

  10. These completely flopped for me. So disappointed. They were completely wet and soggy and sunk in. I followed the recipe exactly. I even tried baking for an extra 5-10 min because they do not get done in 18. That didn’t help at all. Had to throw everything out. What a waste of time and money.

    1. I have found, in GF baking, adding 1-2 teasp. Apple cider vinegar at the very end, mix in well and promptly pour in your pan (s) gives just a little more lift and I’ve never had a gummy doughy density to any of my baked goods since I began doing this. And I’ve never noticed any alteration of flavor.

  11. I know, when replacing almond flour for coconut flour (or vice versa) you’re supposed to change the amount used. Is that the case here? I only have almond flour right now but really want to make these. Any thoughts on whether, and how, to change up the recipe to accommodate? Thanks! Looking forward to trying these!

  12. I followed the recipe exactly and ended up with way more batter than required to fill muffin cups as specified. I did use exactly 2.5 cups of mashed bananas. (It took me 5.5 moderately sized bananas to achieve this quantity.) I’m suspicious that this was just way too much banana, because the muffins took WAY longer than 18 minutes to bake (I honestly lost track of the time). We haven’t tasted them yet, but my kids liked the batter. I’m giving the low rating because of the technical issues.

  13. I made these yesterday for my children. Husband and I are new to paleo from Whole30. Feeling great and would like to stick to no gluten. These muffins we thought tasted awesome. I did not think that they were eggy at all. Of course a different texture is expected with coconut flour as opposed to reg flour. But these are so good you wouldnt even know!We added chocolate chips to half and blueberries. Will make again for camping and school lunches! Thanks!

    1. I’ve made multiple times since. Sometimes due to my own fault in measurements, bugger bananas etc I end up with way more batter, this just leads to bigger muffins – with a little common cooking sense- bigger muffins take longer to bake. I baked an additional 5-10 min til a knife came out clean. They are amazzzzzzing. Always use add ins. Dark chocolate chips are my fav!

  14. These are great! Made them the other day and it’s a good thing my husband doesn’t like bananas – because he’s not getting any of these! Has anyone tried adding toasted pecans or walnuts to them? I may experiment with that next time, but they’re yummy as is!

  15. I love these muffins! I make a batch every week and put half the batch in the freezer. I have celiac disease and these completely satisfy my craving for baked goods. I use dark chocolate chips, and I think they are plenty sweet. Thanks for the recipe!

  16. Can i leave the almond butter out – or replace it with something else? I noticed the recipe already calls for butter so why the almond butter (or peanut butter)? Just curious — plus I don’t have almond or peanut butter handy.

    1. For anyone looking to sub the nutter butters…use avacado! And please will you whiners lighten up about your muffins not coming out perfect…..different ovens, temps, eggs, etc, etc…variables matter….it’s not the persona fault that posted the recipe. And here’s a thought for you…when trying a new recipe…bake one or two muffins before baking the whole batch that way you know if the batter need some and adjustment or two.

      Unable to leave five stars as it will only accept four…

      1. Just found this recipe. They are baking right now. Yvonne, thank you for saying this. Couldn’t agree with you more. I just don’t understand the negativity. I’ve been using coconut flour for years and it is always a bit of a mystery how things will turn out because there is so much difference between the brands and even between different batches of the same brand. Also, if I may take this up a notch, I don’t understand you someone can make multiple changes to the recipe and then comment on the recipe that is posted.

  17. I made these and personally I wouldn’t find them edible without the chocolate chips. They are very eggy (as in the light foamy texture and egg taste) and not the least bit sweet. I don’t know how to explain it but IF I try again I will add some Splenda, and 1 less egg. When adding the chocolate chips they aren’t really that low carb friendly anyway.

  18. Just finished making these. They are delicious. I did not use chocolate chips but I prefer a little more sweetness . Next time I will add some dried fruit.

  19. Why do I have to comment to get back to the recipe????

    1. You never have to comment to view a recipe on this site. I’m not sure what problem you’re having.

      1. When the page loads, it’s automatically sending people to the comments section. 🙁

  20. Hate sites where you can’t see the recipe unless you give them your info. Sucks!

    1. That’s not the case on this site. What info were you asked for?

  21. Coconut flour makes the best banana muffins! These look so delicious.

  22. Oooh these muffins look so tasty and like the perfect healthy grab and go breakfast!!!

  23. These muffins look incredible! Obsessed 🙂 Pinning!
