Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cups Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
- 1 cups Mashed ripe banana
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cups Pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Mini dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups Optional: Chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Mix well to break up any clumps.
In a medium bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Stir in the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until a thick, uniform batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the mini dark chocolate chips and optional nuts, if using.
Using a medium cookie scoop or two spoons, drop 12 mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each mound with the back of the spoon to achieve a ‘muffie’ shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the tops are firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let the muffies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your freshly baked, healthy chocolate chip muffies! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
