Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond butter I use My Favorite Almond Butter recipe on my site
- 1 large egg
- 1 large banana ripe (not overly ripe, I used one with green tips)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 cup raw organic cacao powder
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips 1 tablespoon additional for decorating tops before baking
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
-
Prepare a regular size muffin tin by adding 6 paper liners.
-
In a food processor, process banana until almost mashed.
-
Add egg, almond butter, baking soda, cacao powder, vanilla, maple syrup and process until completely combined and smooth.
-
Take out the blade and add the chips to the processor bowl. Mix in the chips.
-
Spread the batter evenly between the six muffin liners. (fills almost to the top of the liner).
-
Bake for 20-22 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
-
Notes: - I tried this recipe with a flax egg and it did not work well.
-
I used the almond butter recipe on my site which is a smooth, yet firm (not oily) almond butter, so I am not sure how this recipe will work with other nut butter.
