Paleo Carrot Banana Muffins are purely fruit sweetened and super easy to make. This yummy muffin is made with an almond flour base, sweetened with dates and bananas, and studded with carrots and walnuts. People tell me these are the best paleo muffins they’ve ever made!

Similar to a sunshine muffin or a morning glory muffin, this healthy muffin recipe is wonderful at breakfast with a cup of my liver cleansing, alkalizing, Dandelion Coffee. I’ve been drinking this caffeine-free coffee for decades and absolutely love it.

The Philadelphia Inquirer included The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook in an article called “Gluten-Free But Still Tasty.” So many people tell me this is the first grain-free cookbook they ever owned. I wrote it in 2008 and we could not put the words “grain-free” or “paleo” in the title since those terms were so foreign!

This healthy Carrot Banana Muffin recipe is based on one by Heidi at 101 Cookbooks. I took her Fruit Sweetened Carrot Cake recipe and made it gluten-free and grain-free while lowering the amount of fruit sweetener in it.

Here are some of my low-carb almond flour muffin recipes for you!

  1. Hello Elana, browsing your blog and looking at the receipes, one of my favourite things to do when I have time :-). Could you please tell me how fine I need to shred carrots? I assume it’s done in food processor? I can understand grated carrots better, never came across shredded carrots yet.
    Wishing you lovely Sunday

    • Geidre, thanks so much for your comment and question! I’m so sorry for the confusion, I’ve updated the recipe with the proper instructions –i.e., to grate the carrots :-)

    • Ashley, I let them cool overnight and then wrap in a paper towel and place in the fridge for up to one week. I’m so happy to hear this recipe is great :-)

  8. This recipe sounds great! I was wondering if you think this could work as a cake? I like that it is sweetened with fruit and have been looking for a recipe like this. I thought to make it as a cake and then make a cashew cream icing to go with it.
