Whole Grain Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Bake at 375 degrees for 12-16 minutes.
Makes approximately 24 muffins

 

Mix together well:
6 very ripe bananas
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla

Add in:
6 Tablespoons butter, melted
1/3 cup coconut oil, liquid
(Note: Coconut oil varies between liquid and solid state depending on the temperature it is stored at. If your coconut oil is solid, melt it in the same cup you melt your butter in to help the coconut oil remain liquid when you are mixing it in with the rest of the banana mixture. )

Mix together and add to banana mixture:
3 cups spelt  (We like to use spelt in muffins because it creates a less dense whole grain muffin than whole wheat does. What is spelt?)
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons cinnamon

Stir in:
½ cup mini chocolate chips (we prefer semi-sweet)

 

Step One: Beat together bananas, eggs, and vanilla until no large banana chunks remain. Then add in melted butter and coconut oil.

Step Two: In a separate bowl mix together spelt, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.

Step Three:  Add dry ingredients to the banana mixture and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips.

Step Four: Line muffin cups with paper liners and spray liners with non-stick spray – we use a coconut baking spray. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full.

Step Five: Bake for 12-16 minutes at 375 degrees. (Note: my oven seems to cook hotter than some, so adjust the cook time to your oven.)

Welcome

At my "for pay" job I'm a Marketing Manager in the Yearbook industry - it's pretty fun as far as jobs go. But, what I REALLY like to do is spend time with my adorable boys - cooking, painting, creating, and making a mess. We thought it would be fun to share some of our favorite things on this blog. We hope you enjoy reading about our exploits, and maybe even take the time to try a few of them yourself. (= Read More...
