Why Bananas Are the Star of the Show
Ripe bananas don’t just add natural sweetness—they’re packed with potassium, vitamin B6, magnesium, and fiber. They help support digestion, boost energy naturally, and add moisture to baked goods without the need for extra oils or sugars. When baked into muffins, bananas also act as a binder, helping the almond flour and eggs hold together without any need for gluten.
