Equipment

  • 1 muffin tin, lined (for 8 muffins)
  • 1 medium-sized bowl for mixing

Ingredients

  • 3 bananas, very ripe
  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • ½ cup creamy and all-natural almond butter
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • cup chocolate chips (I prefer dairy-free) plus optional for the tops You can omit these if you do not like chocolate

Optional:

  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar for the tops

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line the cupcake tin with 8 cupcake liners.
  • Peel the bananas, add them to a bowl, and mash them well.
  • Add the remainder of the ingredients except for the chocolate chips, and mix well.
  • Add in the chocolate chips and give it one more mix.
  • Fill each cupcake liner almost to the top. These muffins do not rise much so no worries there.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes.
  • Allow them to cool for about 10 minutes and then transfer them to a cooling rack.
  • Once they are totally cooled, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-6 days.

Notes

I have not tried any other flour besides coconut. I would give regular flour a try if you do not like the taste of coconut.
As far as nut butter, I have not tried other varieties but I can imagine peanut butter and cashew butter would work well.
