Ingredients
BANANA BREAD
1 cup almond flour
1 cup gluten-free flour blend, I used better batter (if your blend does not include xanthan gum add 1/4 tsp.)
2 tsp. GF aluminum-free baking powder
1/4 tsp. Himalayan fine salt
1/2 cup (1 large) mashed overripe banana
2 large eggs
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. Pure vanilla extract
CHEESECAKE LAYER
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 Tbsp. Fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp. Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F and line a muffin pan with parchment paper liners (I highly recommend using parchment paper liners to avoid the muffin from sticking)
- For the banana bread; in a large bowl, combine dry ingredients In a separate bowl using an electric mixer, mix, banana, eggs, olive oil, maple syrup, milk and vanilla until creamy. Add to dry ingredients and mix lightly to combine.
- For the cheesecake layer; Mix cream cheese, maple syrup, egg, lemon juice and flour until smooth
- To assemble; spoon a layer of the batter into prepared muffin pan. Then spoon one tablespoon of cheesecake in each muffin cup and then top with remaining batter
- Bake for 25 - 28 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center, comes out clean
- Cool muffins for 20 minutes and enjoy!

Not sure why they stuck to paper liners. (AKA- Cupcake liners)? But we peeled it off not to miss a crumb.
Thank u for this recipe.
Yum!
the best cupcake liners are parchment paper liners, they never stick. I highly recommend them. Thank you!

hi, i am going to make your muffins today or tomorrow because they sound delicious, however, I am allergic to Almond Flour. Can I just use another cup of Better Batter flour? Thank you, Jojo
yes you can, but they will not be as moist.
