These Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins are everything I love about muffins and baking! They’re gluten-free, vegan, and are super duper delicious! Did I mention they are the perfect breakfast option on the go??
I typically love these sorts of recipes for the fall, but I had to use my bananas, and muffins are OBVIOUSLY one of the best ways to do that!
Big chunky sugar filled muffins are great and all BUT a healthy muffin that’s also a delicious muffin??? Well, pffttt that just simply can’t be passed up!
After a few tries, I actually got this recipe down and not tasting awful!! ( HIP HIP HOORAY)
I always enjoy testing out new healthy muffin recipes because they’re (1) quick to make (2) easy to make, and (3) acceptable to eat for breakfast, lunch, snack time, and even dessert
WHAT YOU NEED:
To make these beauties is pretty simple.
You will need some bananas on hand (given ), any type of nut butter, ground flax seeds, almond flour, chocolate morsels, baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract.
My favorite almond flour so far is Bob’s Red Mill. I also use this brand’s coconut flour. It seems to be the cleanest and best one that I have found.
Here’s what these banana chocolate chip muffins don’t have:
- refined sugar
- dry taste that leaves you choking for more water
Simple and nutritious ingredients can create delicious tasting baked goods if you use them correctly that is. For instance, a little bit of nut butter and can add texture, protein, and even flavor Complement these flavors with mashed banana instead of refined sugar and you’re in business.
The muffins aren’t overly sweet, so you shouldn’t get a sugar rush of any sort.
