Ingredients

Scale

2 large eggs (or egg substitute)
1/2 cup maple sugar or coconut sugar
3 medium ripe bananas, mashed (with black spots) – about 1 heaping cup of mashed banana
1/4 cup avocado oil
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups gluten free baking flour (I’ve linked the one tested that I recommend)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon unrefined sea salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips + a few more sprinkled on top of each muffin before baking if desired

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a standard muffin pan with parchment paper muffin liners or grease well.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the eggs and sugar using a whisk. Then add in the mashed banana, avocado oil and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
To the mixing bowl add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt and mix well until just combined.
Swap out your whisk for a rubber spatula and fold in the chocolate chips to the muffin batter.
Using a 1/4 cup cookie scoop, evenly scoop one heaping scoop into each muffin liner. Top each muffin cup with a few more chocolate chips if you desire (this will make them visible from the outside of the muffin – if you have kids I highly recommend making the chocolate visible!)
Bake in a preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to rest for 5 minutes in the muffin pan before transferring them to a metal cooling rack to finish cooling.
Enjoy while warm or store in an airtight container once completely cooled for up to 3 days on the counter or up to 7 days in the fridge. Enjoy!
