Ingredients

1½ cups gluten-free flour blend (or all-purpose if gluten-free isn’t needed)

¼ cup brown sugar or coconut sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

3 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 heaping cup)

2 large eggs (or flax eggs for vegan)

¼ cup avocado oil or olive oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup chocolate chips, plus more for topping (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line or grease a 12-cup muffin tin.

  2. In one bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.

  3. In another bowl, mash bananas, then whisk in eggs, oil, and vanilla.

  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring gently until mixed.

  5. Fold in chocolate chips and spoon batter into muffin cups (about ⅔ full).

  6. Bake 13–16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  7. Cool on a wire rack and enjoy!

Notes

  • For egg-free muffins, replace eggs with 2 tablespoons flaxmeal + 6 tablespoons water (let sit for 5 minutes) and add ¼ cup non-dairy milk.
  • For dairy-free muffins, use dairy-free chocolate chips and oil instead of butter.
  • To make banana bread, bake in a greased loaf pan for 45–55 minutes.
