Equipment
Ingredients
WET INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup mashed ripe banana about 3 bananas
- 2 flax eggs 6 tablespoons water + 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- ¼ cup unsweetened apple sauce
- ¼ cup liquid sweetener maple syrup, honey, agave
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
DRY INGREDIENTS
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
ADD-INS
- ½ cup chocolate chips plus more for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 °F and line 12 muffin cups with non-stick liners.
- Prep your flax eggs by whisking 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed with 6 tablespoons of water. Set aside for 5 minutes.
- In a medium sized bowl combine all of the wet ingredients, including the 2 flax eggs once they have thickened up.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all of the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. It's okay if there are streaks of flour in the batter still. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among 12 muffin tins and bake for 15-19 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool and serve!
