Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 4 Tbsp butter
- 4 Tbsp coconut oil
- 2 eggs
- 3 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 over-ripe bananas
- 1 cup oat flour*(here is how to make your own oat flour)
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (I use whole wheat Einkorn flour)
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees and line a muffin tin with silicone or paper muffin liners. In a large mixing bowl, or in the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the sugar, coconut oil, and melted butter.
- Add eggs, vanilla, and bananas and mix until thoroughly blended.
- Add the whole wheat flour, oat flour, baking soda, and salt and stir just until combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop ¼ cup of batter into each cup of a muffin pan. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Cool for a few minutes before removing to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Make muffin tops! While I don’t recommend buying one just for this recipe, if you have a muffin top pan, you can make banana chocolate chip muffin tops for a fun treat!
- You can also make this banana and choc chip muffin recipe in a loaf pan instead. It’s one of my favorite banana bread recipes! After mixing up the batter, pour it into a greased loaf pan and bake for 45-55 minutes, until the top is golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely before slicing.
- Add mix-ins. Banana and chocolate chip muffins are delicious, but you could also add white chocolate chips, chia seeds, flaxseed, raisins, chopped pecans, or walnuts. Or how about banana chocolate chip coconut muffins? Yum!
- Use a stand mixer. If you don’t like the texture of chunkier bananas in your muffins, use the whisk attachment on your stand mixer to mash up the bananas first, and then mix in the other ingredients. This makes a sort of banana puree that melds into the batter rather than banana chunks. Either way, you have a fantastic banana flavor!
