Almond flour banana
muffins with nutritious flaxseed meal. No sugar added; high in protein
and fiber! Grain free, gluten free, dairy free and paleo-friendly. I am PRE-diabetic so this is my treat for the day. after three weeks since my first blood test I have dropped 7kgs down to 78kgs I will confirm next test where my sugar levels are at, but I think I am doing okay at this stage to turn this thing on it's butt . I got this recipe from here as a PALEO recipe. Really it is just a healthier version of a muffin that is good for almost anyone including pre-diabetics. just do not eat them all at once aye !
original recipe here; flax-almond-meal-banana-muffins-paleo/
The recipe said it made 10 muffins but I only got 8 out of the batch I made And I followed it exact my muffin tray isn't huge either. Anyway what is my verdict on these?? well this is going to depend on a couple of things I would think. If your body is riddled with sugar from processed foods, take away's, or like me to many cheesecakes it may come as a shock and you might think it tasteless.... On the flip side if you have already done your sugar withdrawal this is going to taste totally awesome and healthy and guilt free I actually love them for a snack.. you could even add a little honey to the wet mix or artificial sweetener( which by the way I hate and don't tell me to use stevia either it is still processed and still bad for you as far as I am concerned.. so opt for organic honey ).
I give these a big thumbs up !
