Step 1

The first step to making Chocolate Banana Muffins is to mix together the ground flaxseed and water in a mdium-sized bowl and allow to set for ten minutes. This is the binder in the recipe also known as a flaxegg. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

Next, to the flaxseed, add the mashed bananas, cashew butter (or whatever nut butter or seed butter you prefer), maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Add in the coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt and chocolate chips. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Place muffin papers in a muffin pan or grease with oil. Divide the muffin batter eventually among the 12 muffin cups. Place the pan in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes or until the muffin bounces back when gently pressed. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before enjoying.
