How to Make Double Chocolate Banana Muffins
Here is how you make these gluten-free, healthy muffins
Ingredients
-
2 ripe medium-sized bananas
-
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/2 cup coconut sugar
-
3 tablespoons maple syrup
-
1/4 cup tahini
-
1/4 tsp sea salt
-
1/4 tsp cinnamon
-
2 tbsp avocado oil
-
3/4 tsp vanilla extract
-
1/2 cup cocoa powder
-
3/4 cup gluten-free oats
-
1 1/4 cup almond flour
-
1/3 cup chocolate chips (dairy free if needed)
- 1 flax egg
Directions
- Make your flax egg: In a small bowl, combine the flax meal and water. Allow sitting for 5 minutes while it thickens.
- 1 tbsp flax meal
- 2 1/2 tbsp water
- Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin pan with 9 cupcake wrappers.
- Mash bananas and flax egg: Add bananas and your flax egg in a large bowl. Mash well to combine.
- Make the batter: Add coconut sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, maple syrup, tahini, sea salt, avocado oil, and vanilla in the same bowl. Whisk well to combine. Then, add cocoa powder, and mix again.
- Add remaining ingredients: Add your almond flour and oats. Stir to combine. Note: if your batter is too runny, add a little almond flour, one tablespoon at a time. The runny batter could be due to the size of your bananas.
- Fill muffin tin: Add batter to the liners, filling them almost all the way using a cookie scoop. Add any additional chocolate chips at this point.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 27-33 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted. Serve and Enjoy!
