Welcome to THE ALMOST FAMOUS MOM page !
I miss banana SO much and so decided to bake muffins with the magical ingredients called "banana extract", I was a little skeptical at first but the result was incredible!
This recipe is super easy, super yummy and definitely keto-friendly (low carb)!
 All you need is to get the "right" banana extract, something not too artificial, I bought mine from a local baking store. (Tips: do a quick sniff test before buying)
For this recipe we're using almond flour as the base and added some ground flaxseed to give these muffins a little nutty texture.
Feel free to add toppings to your muffins, you can add crumble topping (pulse cold butter, walnuts and almond flour in food processor) or simply top it with crushed nuts and unsweetened chocolate chips.

 Too good to be true!! Cinnamon Flaxseed Muffins....for keto-er!? Oh yes! And the best part of all....it is a quick bake using microwave and all you need is 1-minute of your time!
Instead of flour, I've used ground flaxseed for this low-carb muffin recipe, it taste just as good as regular wheat flour muffin. 
These muffins are definitely worth your time preparing and baking it for 1-minute in the microwave! They are packed with fiber and nutrition.....as yummy too!
So easy! So tasty! And it is only 3 nett carbs per muffin............isn't that heavenly enjoyment!

Ps: My 5-year-old son loves these muffins so much!

Yay! I'm on a long weekend break so it is time to do some baking and munch all day long! (oppsie...I know I have to watch my diet).

Chocolate for breakfast? I'm sure no one can say NO and this is exactly what I'm baking - Classic Chocolate muffins for breakfast. Why not indulge in it when I don't make chocolate muffins everyday (wink!). These chocolate muffins make a great breakfast to start any morning. How can you not start the day with a wide smile on your face :)
These scrumptious muffins are chocolate loaded, tasty and full of chocolate goodness. Surely this can also be a delicious dessert or even in a lunch box if you don't fancy for a rich and heavy chocolatey start in the morning.

You will love how easy these muffins are to make...so easy that it could just be a dangerous thing...LOL!

Muffins are terrifically easy to make and nothing is better than warm muffins fresh from the AirFryer on rainy afternoon, just perfect for tea time!

As you may know (or may not know..LOL), muffins are good served warm, cooled or reheated so this recipe is not just for rainy day! Hehe!

I'm not going to write a long story simply because it is a rainy day here and all I wanted to do now is to crawl under a blanket and take a short nap before my darling son wakes up!
