How to make mini banana muffins

Step 1: Prep pan and batter

First, preheat the oven to 350F and spray a mini muffin pan with oil or line with mini muffin papers. Then, place bananas in a large mixing bowl and mash with a potato masher or a fork.

Next, add the eggs, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mixing bowl and mix to combine thoroughly.

Then, add the almond flour to the mixing bowl and add the baking soda, baking powder, and salt on top of that. Mix the dry ingredients into wet thoroughly. Next, fold in the mini chocolate chips.

Step 2: Bake in the oven

Then, place 1 tbsp of batter into each of 27 muffins cups – you may need to bake multiple batches. Sprinkle extra mini chocolate chips on top of each muffin.

Finally, place in the oven to bake at 350F for 17 minutes. Allow the muffins to cool for at least 10 minutes before removing from the muffin tin.

Step 3: Enjoy!

How should I store these mini banana muffins?

I like to keep these in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. When I eat them I reheat in the toaster oven so they’re a little crispy on the edges but warm and soft in the middle.

Can I make full size chocolate chip banana bread muffins?

I have not tested this myself, but it can definitely work. I would place 3 tbsp of batter in each muffin cup and bake for about 30 minutes.
