Healthy Banana Blueberry Muffin Tops because, why waste the bottom when you can just eat the best part? So easy-to-make and are the perfect on-the-go breakfast or snack made with REAL ingredients! Also paleo, gluten-free and have a vegan option!
Let’s just talk about something really serious for a minute.
MUFFIN TOPS. Yeah, I know you like ’em too. Don’t get me wrong, I lurve whole muffins too but there is just something so special about those tops. Fun fact: I save the muffin top for last when eating muffins. Yeah people think it’s weird when they see me eating the stem first but when they hear my explanation, they wonder why they don’t eat it like that. I guess you could call me a #trendsetter.
But fo realz though, you gotta agree with me . Muffin tops are theeeeee best part of a muffin hands down. You get all the goods stored in the muffin tops. They are the fluffiest, cakiest, moistest (sorry) part of the muffin and also contain the streusely goodness. So have I convinced you to totally ditch the bottom part yet!?
Well if I haven’t, let’s get on to these homemade Banana Blueberry Muffin Tops, shall we? I am so stoked with how these turned out, they couldn’t have resembled a muffin top more perfectly. I kind of just adapted the batter from one of my old recipes that I never posted because I have to re-do the pictures and ima procrastinator but the base is bangin’.
Let’s get down to the deets on these fluffy, streusely, pucks of perfection:
Almond flour
Baking soda
Almond butter
Egg or flax egg
Banana
Blueberries
Coconut sugar
