- Eggs - binder that holds the Passover muffins together.
- Lemon juice - add a touch of tartness to the muffins.
- Honey - a natural sweetner.
- Baking soda - this helps the muffins during baking.
- Salt - helps the muffins during baking.

Instructions on how to make Almond Flour Muffins with Banana
Step 1 - Prepare the batter
Beat the eggs, vanilla, salt, baking soda, lemon juice, and honey together in a large mixing bowl with a whisk.
Mash the bananas and mix into the egg mixture. You can actually just mash them right into the beaten egg mixture. We used a separate bowl here for demonstration purposes.
Whisk in the almond flour and chocolate chips. Passover Almond Flour Muffin batter is done!

Spoon the muffin batter into the lined muffin cups until they are about ¾ full.
Bake for 22 minutes at 350ºF or until they are golden brown on the top and firm in the middle.
Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
