Ingredients

  • 280 grams 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour*
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • cup 80ml canola oil or melted coconut oil
  • ½ cup 120ml honey
  • 2 eggs, preferably at room temperature**
  • 1 cup packed mashed ripe bananas, about 3 bananas
  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk***
  • 30 grams ⅓ cup sweetened coconut flakes, plus some to sprinkle on top
  • 45-55 grams ¼-⅓ cup chocolate chips****

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius). Line on 12-muffin or 2 6-muffin tins with papers or grease the pans. (I always use papers – they make cleaning up easier)
  • In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk together the oil, honey and eggs. Make sure you beat it well. Mix in the mashed bananas, milk and vanilla extract.
  • Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix with a large spoon until just combined. Stir in your coconut, chocolate chips and any other mix-ins you are using.
  • Divide the batter evenly between all the muffin cups, filling each cup about two-thirds full (I like using a squeezable ice cream scoop to keep things even and clean). Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with a little spare coconut. Bake muffins for 23 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
  • When the muffins are done baking, set the pan on a wire rack and let them cool for 15 minutes. Remove them from the pan and allow to finish cooling on the rack (or eat a few warm…) These will keep for several days in a sealed container or up to 6 weeks in the freezer.
