Healthy Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 ripe bananas ripe
• ⅓ cup melted coconut oil
• ½ cup maple syrup
• 1 large egg room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons milk dairy or plant based
• 1 cup chocolate chips

Preparation

1. Mix all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and set aside (1 ½ cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp salt, and 1 tsp cinnamon).
2. In a separate large mixing bowl, place 3 well ripe bananas. Using a fork, smash them until even consistency. Though, I like to leave a few larger chunks to have more texture.
3. Add the rest of the ingredients (⅓ cup melted coconut oil, ½ cup maple syrup, 1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 3 tbsp milk) and whisk well.
4. Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Using a spatula, fold it in until combined. Try not to overmix the batter!
5. Add 1 cup chocolate chips and fold them in.
6. Using a large ice cream scoop (3 tablespoons), scoop the batter into the muffin tin (lined with muffin liners or just greased). You should have exactly 12 muffins.
7. Bake at 350°F for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Take them out of the oven and let them sit in a muffin tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
