Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time28 minutes
Total Time43 minutes
Servings: 9 muffins

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp ground flax seed
  • 6 Tbsp water
  • 3 ripe bananas peeled
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups super fine almond flour
  • 5 Tbsp tapioca flour
  • 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 2/3 cup vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9-cup muffin pan with muffin papers.
  • In a small bowl, combine 2 Tbsp ground flax seed and 6 Tbsp water; stir and let sit 10 minutes until thickened to a gel-like "flax egg", stirring occasionally.
  • In a mixing bowl, mash the 3 peeled ripe bananas with a fork or masher, then whisk in the flax egg and 2 tsp vanilla until combined (some banana chunks are fine).
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups super fine almond flour, 5 Tbsp tapioca flour, 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp sea salt until evenly mixed.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture and stir gently until just combined.
  • Fold in 2/3 cup vegan chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top if desired.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  • Bake on the center rack for 28 to 35 minutes, until muffins are set and lightly golden at the edges.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan at least 30 minutes before removing the papers and serving.
