These are naturally dairy free, scrumptious, tender, moist, and fluffy. Just the perfect snack packed with wholesome whole grains, protein, good fats, made with unrefined sugar and so easy to whip up…honestly cant get any better than that! Originally adapted from a Banana Bread recipe my friend, Esther Tyorkin Pinkhasov, was so kind to share with me and I’m forever grateful. Made a few tweaks and additions to the original recipe and voila! Nutrition analysis provided at the bottom of the recipe.

Prepation: 10 min.

Baking: 25 min.

Yield: 14 muffins

INGREDIENTS:

3-4 Large Ripe Bananas

1 Large Egg

1/3 cup unrefined Coconut Oil

1/2 cup Coconut Sugar

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

3/4 tsp Cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp sea salt

1-1/2 cups King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour

1/2 cup Enjoy Life Mini Chips

2 Tbsp Dark Chocolate Chunks for the topping

DIRECTIONS:

Heat oven to 350°F. Prepare your muffin tins with cupcake/muffin liners.

In a large bowl, mash bananas. Add the rest of the ingredients. Mix with the same fork you mashed your bananas with. Using either a 2oz. Scooper or 1/4 measuring cup, fill each liner with the batter. Bake for 20-25 min. Let cool for 10 min. and enjoy! Give this recipe 5 stars if you’ve tried it and loved it. Thank you.

These are the yummiest Banana muffins ever!!!! They do not require any dairy or fat and are a perfect chocolate lover’s snack-GUILT FREE!!! My husband can consume 3 of these in one sitting without thinking twice if im not looking…hahahaha! 😛

INGREDIENTS:
3 large very ripe bananas
2/3 cups cane or coconut sugar
1 large egg
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup white whole wheat flour
1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 375F degrees. Line a muffin tin with baking cups. Set aside.
*Be sure to sift your dry ingredients together to avoid pockets of cocoa powder lumps.

In a large bowl mash the bananas well with no big lumps. Stir in the sugar, egg, and applesauce.
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda and baking powder into the wet ingredients. Lightly mix to combine. Fold in chocolate chips. The batter will be a little chunky. Do not over mix.
Fill the batter into 9 muffin cups (fill them all the way to the top, mine didn’t rise much). Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy with a cold glass of fat free milk or unsweetened almond milk.
