I am tossing this Banana Walnut Muffin recipe up then I will throw in a couple of Thanksgiving type of recipes.

1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup golden flax meal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup Splenda(or whatever sweetener you use)
1 teaspoon banana extract *
1/2 teaspoon caramel extract
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 eggs
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a medium bowl, stir together the almond flour, flax meal, baking powder, salt and Splenda.

Combine everything with the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until well blended. Fill 6 paper-lined muffin cups with the batter, dividing it evenly among them. You can spray the liners with cooking spray, but they didn't seem to stick too much.

Bake at 350°F 15 to 20 minutes, until the tops are golden brown. Cool 5 minutes on a rack before removing from the pan.

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in the refrigerator. Serve with butter or cream cheese.

* I sometimes use mashed real banana instead of the extract and take the extra carbs into account, eating less carbs throughout the day that I eat these.
