Description

Banana muffins topped with chocolate chips and walnuts. These muffins are vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and paleo-friendly!

Ingredients

2 ripe bananas
1 cup pitted dates
½ cup almond butter
½ cup coconut flour
¼ cup coconut oil, melted
¼ cup palm shortening
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup dark chocolate chips
½ cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
2. Puree bananas and dates in a food processor until smooth. Add almond butter, coconut flour, coconut oil, palm shortening, cocoa powder, baking soda, vanilla extract, and salt. Pulse to make a thick batter, scraping sides to fully incorporate ingredients.
3. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling them 2/3 full. Toss chocolate chips and walnuts together in a small bowl, then sprinkle on top of each muffin, pressing them gently into tops.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 16 to 18 minutes.
