Ingredients

2 ripe bananas

180g/1 1/2 cups almond flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla

Pinch of salt

2 eggs, whisked

52g/1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

50g/1/3 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped

1 or 2 tbs raw honey, depending on how ripe your bananas are and how sweet you like your muffins

80g/1/2 cup dark mini chocolate chips or dark chocolate chunks

Instructions

In a small bowl smash the bananas.   Next add the eggs, vanilla, coconut oil and honey to the bananas and stir until combined.   In a larger bowl, combine all the dry ingredients (almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon).   Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture bowl – stir into a batter.   Next add the chocolate chips and chopped nuts and stir well (save a couple of tablespoons of the nuts to top the muffins).   Pour batter into a muffin tin lined with baking cups – fill each cup about 3/4 full.   Sprinkle remaining nuts on top of muffins and place in oven.   Bake at 350º F/175C for about 22-25 minutes (oven times and temperatures will vary – test doneness by inserting a toothpick, if it comes out clean, they're done).   Store covered in fridge, or you can freeze these to enjoy later.
