Gluten-free and paleo chocolate chip banana muffins! Oil-free and sweetened with a bit of maple syrup! These are packed with melty chocolatey chips in each bite and makes for a delicious snack!
I’ve made banana bread loaves and muffins way more to count on two hands! Whenever I have overripe bananas, I immediately make banana bread or store it in the freezer for future baking!
I usually use oat flour for many of my recipes but I’ve been playing with almond and coconut flour a lot more recently! I love almond flour for it’s nutty and slightly sweet flavor. It’s one of my favorite flours for pancakes!
I added lots of chocolate chips into the batter and more on top! I feel like without chocolate or some buts, banana breads or muffins aren’t complete. It’s like the icing on the cake for me!

I recently bought my first bag of almond flour and I love it. It produces a lighter finished product with a better texture than the other gf flours and blends I have tired. The downside for me is the price.

Do you by chance have any idea how many calories are in these muffins? I made them a little bit smaller and it made 15.
