Banana-Pecan Superfood Muffins Recipe
Banana-nut muffins often trigger nostalgia: buttery, banana, and cinnamon-filled fragrances wafting through the house when we were kids, concerned only with how delicious each fluffy bite would be when they popped out of the oven.
Today, I’m bringing back the nostalgia of banana-nut bread, with a twist. These paleo banana-pecan muffins contain only natural sweetness and are infused with over 23 superfoods.
Made with Paleovalley Organic Supergreens Powder, each muffin is packed with an abundance of veggies and superfood fruits, adding a high dose of antioxidants and vitamins to every bite.
One of the best parts is the flavor: even though these are loaded with nutrient-rich veggies, you won’t taste them!
Bake up a batch of these for a quick breakfast or an indulgent snack. And feel free to add additional toppings and mix-ins, like chocolate chips or shredded coconut.

Prep time: 10 minutes
Total time: 25 minutes
Serves: 8-9 muffins
Ingredients
- 3 small extra ripe bananas, mashed well (roughly ¾ cup total)
- ⅓ cup + 1 Tbsp almond butter
- 1 large egg
- ½ tsp pure organic vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 scoop Paleovalley Supergreens
- 1 tsp baking soda

- Thinly sliced banana + ⅓ cup chopped pecans for topping
Equipment

Directions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Add paper muffin tins to muffin pan.
- In a large bowl mix almond butter, egg, and vanilla. Use hand mixer to combine, or whisk together vigorously. Add in your mashed banana and combine until smooth.
- Add in almond flour and Organic Supergreens, then evenly sprinkle on baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt. Use a large spoon spatula to gently combine until no lumps are present in batter.
- Evenly distribute the batter into 9 muffin cups, about ⅔ of the way full. Top each with sliced banana and chopped pecans as desired.
- Bake muffins for 12-18 minutes, or until inserted toothpick comes out clean. Muffins will rise and cracks should appear when done. Allow them to cool in pan for 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve.
