Hey there. Lacey here with A Sweet Pea Chef. One of my most popular recipes on the blog
is my banana nut muffin recipe. One of the things that people have asked a lot is for
me to add chocolate chips to the muffins. So, while I was updating this recipe, I decided
to also make it clean. So let's go ahead and make some healthy banana chocolate chip muffins
today. Let's get started. First, pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and grease
a muffin tray with a little bit of coconut oil. In a medium mixing bowl, we're going
to mash the ripe banana using a fork or a potato masher. We're looking for the bananas
to be evenly mashed and not chunky. The riper the bananas, the sweeter the muffins will
be.
Now, add an egg and the vanilla extract, and start to combine, and then we're going to
set this aside. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat spelt flour, ground
cinnamon, baking soda, and Kosher salt, and mix well. If you've never heard of spelt flour
before, it's similar to whole wheat flour, but it's actually higher in protein and vitamins.
Using it in baked goods gives a very light texture and it has a little bit of a sweet
nutty flavor as well.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just incorporated. Try not
to overmix at this point because overmixing will produce a muffin that's not as fluffy.
Now, fold in the chocolate morsels. For your chocolate, look for a dark chocolate that
has a cacao percentage of about 70%. Those are going to have the least amount of additives
and the less processing. They're also going to have the maximum amount of health benefits
for you as well.
Now, pour the mix into the prepared muffin tins, filling the cups approximately two-thirds
of the weight of the bowl. You can use muffin cups, but it's not necessary. Bake for 20
to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the tops are nice and
golden brown. Then remove and let cool on a cooling rack. All right, so now we have
a clean banana nut muffin recipe with chocolate that we can feel good about eating because
it has no refined flours and no refined sugars, plus, what a great use for ripe bananas.
