Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups almond flour or fine meal
  • 1/3 cup flaxseed meal
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 medium extra ripe bananas (about 3/4 cup mashed banana)
  • 1 tbsp melted coconut oil (avocado or olive oil also works)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/3 cup dairy free dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or line a muffin tin.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together almond meal, flaxseed meal, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix the following together until smooth and creamy: mashed banana, coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, vanilla and almond milk.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in dark chocolate chips, leaving a few for sprinkling on top of the muffin batter.
  • Fill muffin cups 3/4 of the way full. Bake 20-25 minutes until toothpick comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached. Let it cool in pan for 10 minutes then remove from pan and cool completely on a wire rack. They will firm up as they cool. Store in an airtight container on the counter for 2 days or in the fridge for 5 days. Enjoy!
