Ingredients
- 5 ripe bananas
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoon dark cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ tablespoon coconut oil, for greasing muffin tin (could also use cupcake liners)
- 1 cup 70% cacao dark chocolate morsels, plus more for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease muffin tin with coconut oil.
- In a blender, add all the ingredients except for the dark chocolate morsels and almond flour.
- Add the almond flour to a mixing bowl, and then pour in the chocolate blender mixture, and stir to combine.
- Add the chocolate morsels and stir to combine.
- Pour the mix into the prepared muffin pan, approximately ⅔ of the way full. I use a 1 ½ tablespoon cookie scoop to transfer equal amounts into each muffin tin.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and tops are golden brown.
- Remove and let cool on cooling rack.
Notes
- The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be, reducing the need for additional sweeteners.
- Overmixing can make the muffins dense. Mix until just combined for the best texture.
- Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top before baking for an even richer chocolate flavor.
