Chickpea Banana Muffins (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free)

These Chickpea Banana Muffins are a gluten-free and dairy-free baked good made from mashed banana, canned garbanzo beans, eggs, coconut sugar, and leavening agents. The batter blends chickpeas and banana into a moist, dense muffin base, complemented by optional chocolate chips for added sweetness and texture. The muffins bake to a golden brown with tender edges, serving as a nutritious snack or breakfast option that pairs natural sweetness with mild earthiness from chickpeas.
