Like many of my recent easy keto recipes, these Low-Carb Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Muffins are free from any ingredients containing nuts and are safe to consume for those with a nut allergy or nut intolerance!

If you simply enjoy eating something sweet alongside your morning drink, you will love to pair these muffins with it! I recommend serving it along with this creamy cold brew coffee or spruce tea!

Dairy-free chocolate chips

The chocolate chips used in this recipe are extremely allergy-friendly and contain only one simple ingredient: cacao. Unlike other brands on the market that contain soy lecithin, Pascha chocolate chips are free from soy and other emulsifiers. You can purchase Pascha Chocolate Chips on Amazon.

(If you are looking for more recipes to use Pascha Chocolate Chips in, I suggest trying my Low-Carb Chocolate Chip Muffins, No-Bake Chocolate Chip Almond Butter Fat Bomb Bars, and Low-Carb Chocolate Chip Cookies!)

Sweetened with monk fruit sweetener

These muffins are sweetened with my favorite net-carb-free and all-natural sweetener, Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener, which is a necessary addition to your pantry if you follow a ketogenic diet and enjoy eating dessert! Monk fruit sweetener won’t spike your blood sugar, won’t kick you out of ketosis, and, the best part, tastes exactly like traditional sugar!

If you are looking for a sweetener that tastes like sugar and is low-carb, keto, and paleo-compliant, I highly recommend trying Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener! You can use code “REALBALANCED” for 20% off your total order!
