Ingredients
- 3 bananas 2½ cups mashed
- 3 eggs
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- ½ cup almond butter or nut butter of choice
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup coconut flour
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of sea salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF and line your muffin pan with muffin liners.
- In a lare mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas and combine them with eggs, melted coconut oil, nut butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture achieves a smooth consistency.
- Add coconut flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt to the wet mix. Stir until everything is well incorporated, creating a thick, luxurious batter.
- Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
- Pour the batter into your muffin tin, filling each cup to the brim. Pop it in the oven and let the magic happen for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once out of the oven, allow your banana chocolate chip muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack for that perfect finish.
Notes
- Ripe bananas are key: Use ripe bananas for that natural sweetness and enhanced flavor.
- Nut choices: Feel free to experiment with different nut butters – almond, peanut, or cashew – for a unique twist.
- Quality chocolate matters: Opt for high-quality dark chocolate chips; their rich flavor will take your muffins to the next level.
- Mind the coconut flour: Coconut flour absorbs more moisture than traditional flours, so be precise with measurements to maintain the ideal consistency.
- Don't overmix: Gentle folding ensures a uniform batter without overmixing, resulting in light and tender muffins.
- Fresh baking agents: Ensure your baking soda and baking powder are fresh to guarantee optimal leavening and fluffiness.
- Mixing method matters: Blend wet and dry ingredients separately before combining them. This step-by-step approach ensures a uniformly mixed batter without overmixing, leading to light and tender muffins.
- Baking time awareness: Keep a close eye on the oven as baking times may vary. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean, indicating the muffins are perfectly baked.
- Cooling: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This prevents excess moisture buildup, ensuring a delightful texture.
- Customizations: Feel free to personalize the recipe with additional mix-ins like shredded coconut or dried fruits. This versatility allows you to tailor the muffins to your taste preferences.
