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.
