Healthy Banana Muffins

I love pastries! A LOT! I would eat pastries for breakfast everyday if I could. Muffins, scones, donuts, croissants, you name it, I love it. But I also love to eat healthy, especially at breakfast time. These healthy banana muffins are perfect for those mornings that I’m craving something sweet for breakfast but want to eat healthy. I love how easy they are to make, you don’t even need a mixer! If you use extra ripe bananas, the muffins will be sweeter.
Ingredients:
- 2 very ripe bananas
- 3 tbsp real maple syrup
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2-3 tbsp oat flour (plus more if batter is too wet)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp ground flaxseed
- 2/3 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350F, line a 12 count muffin pan with muffin liners. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth, add the remaining wet ingredients and whisk to combine. Mix all dry ingredients together in a separate bowl, then stir into the wet ingredients. Fold in chocolate if using. Scoop batter into muffin pan (3/4 full) and bake for 20-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Enjoy these warm from the oven or let them cool and enjoy later. I like to spread almond butter on these for an extra dose of protein.
These sound delicious!! And no guilt!! Can’t wait to try them.
They taste like they have butter and sugar in them so sneaky!
