Servings 12 muffins

Ingredients
  

  • 3 very ripe bananas approx. 1 cup mashed banana
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ c unsalted butter melted
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ c brown sugar
  • 2 c almond flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ⅔ c dark chocolate chips or your favorite kind

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C)
  • In a medium mixing bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and melted butter, then whisk until everything is well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture and stir just until no dry streaks remain. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Divide the batter evenly among a lined muffin pan that has been lightly coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top, if you'd like.
  • Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let the muffins cool before serving. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 4 to 5 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week.

Notes

 
  • Three medium bananas will give you about 1 cup of mashed banana, which is the perfect amount for this recipe.
  • For bakery-style muffins, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips over the batter before baking.
  • Be sure to use almond flour rather than almond meal for the best texture.
  • Always check that your baking powder is fresh. Expired baking powder can prevent the muffins from rising properly.
