Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Warm & fluffy banana chocolate chip muffins. A healthy dessert option or you can meal prep these muffins for an easy grab-and-go breakfast during the week. You will love this easy baking recipe!

I made these muffins on my instagram story today and I got loads of requests for a proper recipe, so here we are! Ask and you shall receive, right?

All of the muffin recipes on my blog are pretty similar and I usually create new flavors by swapping only one or two ingredients. I mean, if it ain’t broke why fix it? But switching out even just one ingredient can make a HUGE difference in the flavor. So I honestly have so much fun testing out new muffin flavors.

ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups flour (gluten-free optional) 
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup organic brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 very ripe bananas, mashed

instructions:

How to cook Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Oil a muffin pan and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash the bananas very well. Mix in coconut oil, flax eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract.
  4. Make a well in the bowl of dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the well. Use your hands to gently mix the ingredients. Don't over-do this, you want all the ingredients to be mixed and wet, but you still want chunks. A good way to do this is to gently mix until all of the air bubbles are gone.
  5. Fold chocolate into the muffin mix.
  6. Evenly distribute the mixture into you muffin pan. Bake for 16-18 minutes until golden. 
  7. Let sit for at least 5 minutes before serving.

NOTES:

*Flax see eggs are egg replacements made from flax seed and water. For each "egg" you will need 1 tablespoon ground flax seed and 3 tablespoons water. This recipe calls for two eggs, so you will be mixing 2 tablespoons ground flax seed with 6 tablespoons water. Do this before you even begin the process of making the muffins as the mixture must sit for 15 minutes. Stir the mixture well and place it in the fridge for 15 minutes. The mixture should have a thick, egg-like consistency before you mix it into the muffin mix!
