Low Carb Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins (Gluten Free)
- Yield: 12 1x
Description
I LOVE banana bread! In fact, before I started following a ketogenic protocol I was always making it. I would make several loaves or a bunch of muffins and keep the extras in the freezer. I always made sure to make them “healthy”. Of course for a long time that meant “low fat”! Oh how times have changed!! While these yummy muffins are low carb (about 15 net carbs per muffin), they are a little too high in carb to be considered KETO (unless you’re not having hardly any carbs in the rest of your day!).
If you would rather do something a little more paleo, you can for sure substutite something like honey or coconut sugar for the sweetener. Just be sure to adjust the amount as needed!
Enjoy!
