Ingredients

  • 2 flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flax + 5 tbsp warm water)
  • 1½ cup mashed banana (2½ large bananas)
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ cup apple sauce
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

  • Prepare flax egg. Whisk water and flax together and set aside to gel for approximately 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375 and either grease a muffin tin or place liners.
  • In a medium sized bowl, mash banana until no clumps appear.
  • Add in baking soda, and remaining wet ingredients. Whisk vigorously to combine.
  • Start adding in dry ingredients, stirring as you go. Once everything is mixed add chopped walnuts and chocolate chips. Use an ice cream scoop (or spoon) to fill up liners 3/4 of the way.
  • If you have a small cookie cutter, cut fun designs in the 12 slices of banana and place on top and slightly press into the batter. Take a handful of chocolate chips and randomly press 3 more into the top of the muffin.
  • Place in a preheated oven for 23-26 minutes.
  • Allow to cool completely.
