Ingredients

  • 1 cup ripe bananas mashed (about 2-3 bananas)
  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter or another creamy nut butter
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil melted, at room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups almond flour
  • 3 tablespoons flaxseed meal
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips split in two, see notes
  • 2-4 tablespoons filtered water at room temperature, see notes

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a muffin tin with 9 liners. Spray with cooking oil so they do not stick.
  • In a large bowl or in the pitcher of a blender, combine all of the wet ingredients (except for the water) until smooth and creamy throughout.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Add the dry into the wet and mix until incorporated and smooth. Fold in the dark chocolate chips. Your batter will be pretty thick. Add in (1) tablespoon of water a time until it reaches a very thick but pourable consistency.
  • Pour batter evenly into the 9 liners, filling about ¾ cup way up. Add a small handful of chocolate chips more to the top of each muffin. Bake for 18-22 minutes. A toothpick should come out clean (with a few small crumbs) from the center of the muffin.

Notes

Half of the chocolate chips should be used inside of the muffin batter. The other half are for sprinkling on top.
You will need to add anywhere between 2-4 tablespoons of room temperature water to the batter for it to become the right consistency. Add 1 tablespoon at a time and watch for a thick but pourable consistency.
