Banana Chocolate Chunk Muffins

Perfect for a road trip… ski weekend, cottage, etc.! I love to make a batch of fresh muffins to bring along for the road! I prefer chocolate chunks to chips because well more chocolate!!! 😋🍫🍌

***This recipe includes gluten and eggs but can easily be made gluten-free, egg-free and vegan – see gluten and egg substitution options in ingredients***

Ingredients

  • 3 very ripe bananas (almost black is best!)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour or a combination of the two *** (substitute with gluten-free flour for gluten-free option)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup Enjoy Life Brand chocolate chunks (Free of top allergens!)
  • 2 tbsp crushed flax seeds (I use Omega Nutrition Brand -ensure that whichever brand you use they are nut-free and allergy safe for your particular allergens- often warrants a phone call!)

  • 1/3 cup milk alternative (coconut, rice, pea – today I used Ripple Brand Vanilla pea beverage)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line muffin tin with liners (I love the parchment paper ones)
  2. Add all ingredients except for chocolate and flax seeds to the bowl of your stand mixer and combine thoroughly.
  3. Add in chocolate chunks and ground flax seeds and mix till combined – do not over mix.
  4. Pour into muffin cups and bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until a toothpick/wooden skewer comes out clean.
  5. Let cool and pack ’em up for the road! If you can avoid the temptation to eat one right away!

Enjoy!
