Keyword: banana chocolate chunk muffins, bananas, chocolate, chocolate chips, healthy, muffins,
Servings: 8 muffins

Equipment

  • bowl, whisk, wooden spoon, muffin pan, paper muffin liners

Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
  • 3/4 cup natural almond butter (any natural nut butter works)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (not pancake syrup)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon coconut flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3 ounce bar of unsweetened baking chocolate, chopped into small chunks (sugar-free unsweetened chocolate chips can be substituted)

Instructions

  • Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and line a 12-muffin cup tin with 8 paper liners.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Be sure your bananas are ripe, as in black spots on the skin. They are best this way and will be sweeter in your baked recipes. Add in the almond butter.
  • Add in the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract
  • Whisk until all ingredients are combined. The batter will not be totally smooth, this is normal.
  • Add the coconut flour, baking soda, and salt and stir to combine. Fold in the chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Divide the banana chocolate chunk batter between the 8 muffin cups.
  • Place in the pre-heated oven to bake until cooked through and puffy, approximately 18-20 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  • Place in the pre-heated oven to bake until cooked through and puffy, approximately 18-20 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  • Remove from oven and allow banana muffins to cool for 10-15 minutes before removing from the muffin tin to serve.

Notes

Tip: if you don't have the unsweetened baking chocolate to chop up, you can use sugar-free (unsweetened) chocolate chips. There are different brands popping up in the stores every time I go.
Tip: These banana chocolate chip muffins can be frozen once they are completely cooled. To eat, simple let thaw at room temperature or pop the muffin in the microwave for a minute or until warmed.
