Calories: 89kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup Mashed Bananas equivalent to 3 large ripe bananas
- ¼ cup Avocado Oil note 1
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1 large Egg note 2
- ⅓ cup Maple Syrup note 3
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour note 4
- ¼ teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- ½ cup Mini Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two 12-hole mini muffin trays with oil spray. Set them aside.
- Peel, mash the bananas with a fork and measure 1 cup - precision is important to avoid gummy muffins.

- Stir in the remaining dry ingredients: flour, cinnamon, and baking powder.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips and stir to incorporate.
- Fill the muffin holes with about 1 ½ tablespoons of batter.
- Bake in the center rack of the oven until golden brown and a pick inserted in the center of the baby muffins comes out clean - about 20-25 minutes.
- Cool them down immediately on a wire rack.
Storage
- Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days or freeze in zip-lock bags and thaw 3 hours before eating.
Notes
Note 1: Or replace with melted butter, melted coconut oil, or canola oil.
Note 2: You can replace the egg with a flax egg. Mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons of lukewarm water. Set aside for 10 minutes until it looks like an egg. Use it as an egg in the recipe.
Note 3: Or honey, agave syrup, or date syrup.
Note 4: Or white whole-wheat flour or all-purpose gluten-free flour.
