Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup ripe bananas ~3 medium
  • 1/2 cup smooth almond butter Unsalted, Unsweetened
  • 2 eggs room temp
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup Almond flour packed, 120g
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour 20g
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips divided
  • 1/2 cup walnuts and/or pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 F.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, mash ripe bananas, then add in the wet ingredients –almond butter, eggs, & maple syrup. Use a hand mixer to combine until smooth.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients – almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and a pinch of sea salt.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Combine with a spatula. Fold in half the chocolate chips and walnuts/pecans.
  • Grease a lined muffin pan (I used non-stick silicone muffin cups) with a little bit of coconut oil. Evenly divide up the muffin batter into the cups. Fill the muffin cups close to the top.
  • Sprinkle the rest of the nuts and chocolate chips on top. Bake for 16 - 18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean after sticking into the center.
  • Let it cool for 10 minutes then rest them on a cooling rack. Enjoy with some extra almond butter on top and a cup of coffee!
  • Store in air-tight containers in the fridge or freezer.

Notes

You can also use cashew butter or peanut butter to replace the almond butter.
