Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Ingredients:

• 1 3/4 cups spelt flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas
• 2/3 cups maple syrup (grade b has more minerals)
• 1/3 cup softened coconut oil
• 2/3 cups non-dairy chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup walnuts (we don’t use any nuts since they don’t digest easy when they are combined with grains)

Preheat oven to 375*F (190*C) Prepare 12- cup muffin tray with paper or light coating of coconut oil.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Add the mashed banana and syrup, and oil. Stir just until all flour is absorbed. Fold in the chocolate chips (and nuts).

Portion the batter into muffin cups and bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Makes 12 muffins.

Enjoy! These muffins are so chewy and moist and delicious!

*This recipe works great for toddlers, too!  Sub the chocolate chips for dried cranberries and leave out the nuts!
