Chocolate chip mini banana muffins are super simple to whip together and so fluffy! Made with blanched almond flour, these muffins offer a healthier twist without skimping on yumminess.

Ingredients

  • mashed ripe bananas

    about 2 large spotty bananas

    1 c
  • eggs
    3
  • natural peanut butter
    ¼ c
  • agave nectar

    honey or maple syrup

    ¼ c
  • blanched almond flour
    2 c
  • baking powder
    1 tbsp
  • salt
    ½ tsp
  • mini chocolate chips
    ½ c

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin with cooking spray. In a small bowl, mash your bananas and measure 1 cup.

  2. 2

    In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, eggs, natural peanut butter, and your choice of sweetener (agave nectar, honey, or maple syrup). Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  3. 3

    Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can pop all the fluff and result in denser muffins.

  4. 4

    Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

  5. 5

    Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, fill each mini muffin cup with the batter, filling them about ¾ full. These muffins rise a bit, but not too much, so you can fill them nearly all the way.

  6. 6

    Place the muffin in in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. My muffins took 13 minutes but you may plus or minus a minute or two depending on your oven.

  7. 7

    Once baked, remove the mini muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
