Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Muffins

Ingredients:

Dry

• 2 cups whole wheat flour (you can use 1/2 wheat and 1/2 all-purpose white also) OR for a gluten free option you can sub all GF flour (cup for cup) or half GF and half almond flour
• 3/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar (can sub brown sugar)
• 3/4 cup dark or semisweet chocolate chips

Wet

• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup (you could also use honey)
• 1/2 cup milk (I prefer almond or coconut but any milk will do)
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1/2 cup applesauce
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Combine all dry ingredients in one bowl and whisk to combine.  In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients and whisk to combine.  Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.  Place in a greased loaf or bunt pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 35 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean.  You can also make these into muffins.  If you choose muffins, decrease the baking time to 30 minutes. Enjoy!
