Equipment

2 Mini muffin trays
1 1 Stand Mixer
1 1 Batter scoop
1 Cooling rack

Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups all purpose flour whole wheat flour works great too
  • 4 bananas overripe
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup butter coconut oil can be substituted
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans if you're nut free, you can omit altogether or sub sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, or coconut flakes
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips/chunks

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F with the rack in the middle position and grease your mini muffin pans.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • Cream together butter and maple syrup using a stand mixer (if you have or hand mixer if you don’t) until smooth. Don't worry if the butter chunks up. Add eggs one at a time and beat until smooth. Then add bananas one at a time and mix until combined.
  • At low speed, add dry ingredients a little bit at a time until fully mixed together.
  • Fold in chocolate chips and pecans.
  • Spoon batter into mini muffin tins and bake for 10-12 min or until golden brown.
  • Let cool for about 10 minutes and then remove from the muffin pan and set on wire rack to fully cool before you enjoy.
