Ingredients
2 cups flax meal- packed slightly (I grind my own in a coffee mill)1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder1 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon cinnamon3 tablespoons stevia4 eggs beaten1/4-1/2 cup water (if you are adding the bananas you may need less water than the full 1/2 cup)1/3 cup olive oil or melted coconut oil1/2 cup mashed banana (optional)dash of banana extract (optional)1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Directions
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. In a medium bowl combine the flax meal, baking powder, cinnamon, sugar and salt
3. Make a well in the dry mix and add in the beaten eggs, water and olive oil or melted coconut oil
4. Stir together the wet and dry ingredients- all the other recipes say to let the batter sit for 2-3 minutes to thicken- I don’t really find this necessary
5. Pour the batter into a greased muffin pan
6. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes until firm in the middle- don’t overbake
7. Cool on your counter and then enjoy!

     This recipe is amazing! Delicious, and surprisingly moist! I prefer mine refrigerated. I also add an extra banana, a little more sweeter (I use xylitol because it's what I keep on hand), cinnamon and some nutmeg. Must try this for yourself to see!! - 5/24/12

     I love this recipe. I made 3 times. I eat this in my evening snacks or breakfast time. Thank you for sharing it. - 11/29/11

     Super tasty and extremely fluffy! They weren't that sweet but you can definitely add more stevia. And you can always add banana extract if you like a stronger banana taste. I thought they were perfect otherwise!!! - 10/17/11

     A number of vegan egg substitutes (banana, flaxseed, olive oil) are already in the recipe, so I skipped the eggs, used 3 small overripe bananas, added 2tbsp molasses, used one third of the stevia, half the oil, and needed no water. Doubled the cinnamon, added ginger & nutmeg. Made as mini muffins. - 2/27/19

     I would like to know more about the stevia used because my muffins turned out too sweet. I used a pure powdered stevia. Don't know if I'd trust a Walmart product. - 9/22/15

     I have been looking for a low carb banana muffin. This is awesome! Made them for the first time and was thrilled! Will definitely be making them again. - 4/8/14

     What kind of stevia are you using? There is a big difference between liquid stevia, pure stevia powder, ground stevia leaf and stevia/erythritol blends. - 7/3/13

    I am using Stevia that is powdered. It comes in a big bag and can be found at walmart or Aldi. Or all food stores I imagine.
