Banana Nut Chocolate Chip Muffins


I had ripe bananas that I needed to use up and I really didn't want to make the usual banana bread...because I would eat it! This was a healthier alternative and tasted great. It should be noted, however, that you can still overindulge with these so enjoy in moderation!

2 ripe bananas
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder (not necessarily totally clean, but OK in small amounts)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
pinch of all-natural sea salt
2 eggs, whisked
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1/3 cup walnuts, chopped
2 TBS raw honey
1/2 cup dark mini chocolate chips

In a small bowl, smash the bananas. Add eggs, vanilla, coconut oil and honey. Stir until combined. In a separate bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir to combine. Add chocolate chips and chopped nuts. Pour batter into a muffin tin lined with baking cups. Fill each cup about 3/4 full. Bake at 350 degrees for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in one comes out clean.
Store covered in fridge. You can also freeze for later!
