2/18/2015 Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Banana MuffinsI cannot be trusted near banana bread. I am blaming banana bread for the 10 lbs (ok... 15 lbs) of weight gain during my semester abroad in Sydney, Australia. Every morning I went to the same coffee shop and the barista knew right when I walked in: "latte and a ba-nah-nah bread?" Me: "How nice of you to remember, let's make that two slices!" Sighhh. It's really not even my fault. When I was in elementary school, I would come home all the time to my mom's chocolate chip banana muffins FRESH out of the oven. She basically trained me from a young age to devour all the banana bread in sight! Wasn't it fun to be a kid and not know what a calorie or carb was? Those were THE DAYS. Well, since I'm not planning on giving up banana bread any time soon, I figured it was time to make a healthy, guilt-free version and this one didn't disappoint! Its sweet, delicious, and secretly packed with fiber and healthy fats. You'll love it! Ingredients 4 ripe bananas, mashed 1 egg 3 tbsp coconut oil 1/3 cup pure maple syrup or raw honey 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk 1 cup + 2 tbsp almond meal 1/2 cup oat flour 3 tbsp coconut sugar 1/2 cup rolled oats 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips Optional: 1/2 banana, sliced thinly, for top of muffins Yields 12 muffins OR 1 loaf
Hope you love these muffins as much as I do! Photos updated 11/13/17
