Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp flaxseed meal (to make flax egg*)
- 1/4 cup water (to make flax egg*)
- 2 medium banana 2 bananas yield ~3/4 cup or 210 g mashed, ripe
- 1/2 cup maple syrup (or agave nectar)
- 1/4 cup avocado oil or melted coconut oil, or vegan butter
- 1 ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt sea salt
- 1 cup gluten-free flour blend or other GF blend or all-purpose flour - see notes, MB 1:1 blend
- 1 cup almond flour (or almond meal)
- 2/3 cup pecans or sub walnuts, raw, roughly chopped
- 2/3 cup dark chocolate chips (plus more for topping // ensure vegan/dairy-free as needed // we like Enjoy Life)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and lightly grease a standard-size muffin tin or add paper liners. Set aside.
- To a large mixing bowl, add flaxseed meal and water. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken — these are your flax eggs.
- Add the bananas and mash together with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth.
- Add the maple syrup, oil, baking soda, vanilla, and sea salt. Whisk for about 30 seconds until well combined.
- Add the gluten-free flour blend and almond flour (or almond meal). Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Fold in the pecans and chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among muffin tins, filling almost to the tops. Optionally, top with a few sprinkles of chocolate chips.
- Bake for 25-28 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let cool for 5 minutes in the muffin tin, then gently remove and let cool completely on a cooling rack.
- Once cooled, store in a covered container at room temperature for 3-4 days, in the refrigerator for 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Notes
- *If not vegan, you could try 2 eggs in place of the 2 Tbsp flaxseed meal + 1/4 cup water, but we haven’t tested it this way. Let us know in the comments if you do! *Our original DIY GF Blend would also work in this recipe as would similar store-bought blends. If not gluten-free, you can substitute whole wheat pastry flour or unbleached all-purpose flour for the gluten-free blend. *Modified from the Banana Chocolate Pecan Muffins in our cookbook. *Nutrition information is a rough estimate calculated without optional ingredients.
