• servings: 12 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 22 minutes

Ingredients

2 cups All-Purpose Flour (note 1)

1 1/3 cups Mashed Banana (note 2)

6 tablespoons Light Olive Oil (note 4)

1/2 cup Almond Milk (note 5)

2 teaspoons Baking Powder

1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda

1/2 teaspoon Salt

1 teaspoon Cinnamon

2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

1/2 cup Dark Chocolate Chips

2/3 cup Unrefined Sugar (note 3)

1/2 cup Walnuts (chopped)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 12-hole muffin pan with muffin paper liners. Slightly oil with cooking oil spray.

In a mixing bowl, mash the banana using a fork or potato masher.

Add the oil, almond milk, optional unrefined sugar, vanilla extract, and salt if used. Stir with a rubber spatula or whisk until well combined.

Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon, if used.

Stir with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until the batter is consistent.

Fold in chopped nuts, if used, and chocolate chips or chunks, and stir to incorporate evenly.

Fill each muffin cup up to the top.

Bake in the center rack of the oven for 25-30 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until they are nicely golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let them cool down on a wire rack for 1 hour.
