Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Lay a 12-hole muffin pan with muffin paper liners. Slightly oil the paper with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger. Set aside.
In another large mixing bowl, mash the bananas. Pack the mashed banana in a measuring cup to check the amount match the recipe measurement above. Return to the mixing bowl. Whisk in almond butter, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and almond milk.
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and use a spatula to stir and create a thick consistent muffin batter.
Fold in the chocolate chips if desired and stir to incorporate.
Fill the muffin cases evenly and sprinkle slices of almonds on top.
Bake in preheated oven for 20-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean.
Cool down in the pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack to completely cool down at room temperature.
Storage
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the fridge for 1 week.
Freeze the muffins in zip-lock bags or in a sealed box. Thaw the muffins the day before eating at room temperature.
Note 1: Or whole wheat flour. For a gluten-free version, use my gluten-free conversion guide.Sugar-Free option: replace the coconut sugar with brown erythritol for a sugar-free, low-carb sweetener.Oil-Free option: replace oil with the same amount of unsweetened applesauce.
Oven Mode: I use the fan-forced (convection) mode. If you have to use conventional mode, I recommend increasing the temperature by 25°F (15°C). The baking time should be the same, but it might take a few more minutes.
