Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners. Melt the coconut oil in a small pan over medium heat. Note: If your walnuts are not toasted, pop them in the oven to toast while the oven is heating.
- In a large bowl, add the mashed bananas, eggs, almond flour, cocoa powder, vanilla, baking powder, sea salt, (if using) espresso powder, and the melted coconut oil. Beat well using an electric mixer. Stir through the walnuts, chocolate chips, and (if using) the cacao nibs.
- Divide the batter between the 12 muffin liners, filling each to the very top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the muffins comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes in the tin, then remove them and let them finish cooling on a cooling rack.
