I stink at dieting. I don't want to weigh my food or eat super healthy for 6 days and then splurge on my cheat day. I just want to try and eat a balanced diet, take my prenatal vitamins and workout on the treadmill when the monster toddler isn't making me chase her.
So please don't think I am jumping onto the diet band wagon by trying this recipe. I pinned it from Potentially Lovely and read that people were having mixed results. I am guessing the dryness is coming from unripened bananas, so I want to try something a little different. Don't be weirded out, but when I need mashed bananas quickly, I use banana baby food. It's essentially just a mashed banana and adds just the right amount of moist sweetness when I bake.
This is my first experience with almond flour. I noticed a slight change in the texture, but nothing to complain about. For me the added protein is worth it. While the muffins browned more than I had expected, they were still very moist and make a great breakfast for on the go.

While my muffins look smaller than the ones from the original blog, I am calling this a Pinterest win. I will share my failures with you also, when they happen. Let me know your favorite pins and recipes that you would like to see reviewed here.
