Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

This recipe is perfect for those super ripe bananas on your counter. The bananas provide enough sweetness, so you don't need to add much sweetener. These are probably the most moist muffins I've ever made. It's hard not to eat the whole batch!

I get my flours, stevia, and extracts from Vitacost. They have the best prices and an amazing selection of food and supplements. Use this link for money off your first order. 


Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

Ingredients:

3 small very ripe bananas (or two medium)
2 eggs
2 teaspoons coconut oil 
1/2 cup unsweetened cashew or almond milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup stevia
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup chocolate chips (more if desired)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. In a food processor, combine the banana, eggs, coconut oil, milk, and vanilla. Blend until smooth.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flours, stevia, baking powder and cinnamon.
3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in the food processor. Blend until smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Add batter to a muffin tin coated with cooking spray. Bake 25 minutes or until knife comes out clean. Allow to cool.

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins

Packed with fiber, whole grains, and yes, zucchini. Zucchini keeps the muffins moist and makes them super nutritious. Perfect back to school recipe for the kiddies...Yes, it's about that time.


Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins

Ingredients:

1 cup millet flour (or other whole grain)
1/2 cup oat bran
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup zucchini, grated (I use my food processor)*
1 egg
1/2 cup almond milk
1/4 cup chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
2. Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl, and the wet ingredients in another bowl.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix through. Fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Pour the batter into a muffin tin sprayed with cooking spray. Cook 25-30 minutes, or until knife comes out clean.

*Try peeling the zucchini before grating it if you think your kids will be turned off from seeing green pieces in the muffin
