Best Ever Banana + Dark Chocolate Chip Muffins

Recipe

Makes 12 muffins. Serving size: 1 muffin. Prep time: 5 mins | Cook time: 20 mins

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted

• 1/3 cup pure maple syrup

• 2 eggs

• 1 cup (or 2 medium) very ripe mashed bananas

• 1/4 cup milk or water

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1-3/4 cups white whole wheat flour (I like King Arthur's brand)

• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray muffin pan with nonstick spray.

2. Whisk together coconut oil and maple syrup in a large mixing bowl until thickened. Then whisk in eggs, mashed bananas, milk/water, baking soda, vanilla, salt and cinnamon. Using a spoon or spatula, slowly mix in the flour until coated, but don't overmix (lumps are okay). Fold in dark chocolate chips.

3. Spoon batter into muffin wells and fill about 3/4.

4. Bake at 375 degrees for 5 minutes, and then lower to 325 degrees for 18 minutes. (Note: the elevated temperature initially helps the muffins form a higher top.)
