Description

These healthy chocolate banana muffins are made with ripe bananas, almond flour and cocoa powder.  They're only sweetened with bananas, gluten free and paleo friendly!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup ripe mashed bananas (245g)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened yogurt (I used almond milk yogurt)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour (145g)
  • 1/2 cup Dutch processed cocoa powder (38g)
  • 1/3 cup tapioca starch (42g)
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Line a muffin tin with 12 paper or silicone muffin liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the wet muffin ingredients.  This includes the mashed banana, eggs, yogurt and vanilla.
  3. Mix in the dry ingredients: almond flour, cocoa powder, tapioca starch baking soda and salt.
  4. Scoop the batter into your lined muffin tin, filling each slot about 3/4 full.
  5. Place the muffins in your preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
  6. After baking, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes in the muffin tin, then transfer them to a wire cooling rack.
