Ingredients

3 ripe medium bananas
½ cup melted coconut oil or light-tasting olive oil
¼ cup pure maple syrup
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
¾ cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free one-to-one flour
½ cup oat flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup unsweetened, shredded coconut (plus additional for sprinkling on top of the muffins, if desired)
½ cup chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut sugar or brown sugar (for sprinkling on top, if desired)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line a muffin pan with muffin liners and spray the liners with non-stick spray.
Remove the bananas from the peels and place them in a large bowl. Use a fork to mash them until they are smooth and well combined.
Add the oil, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla to the banana mixture and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour), oat flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix!
Add the shredded coconut and chocolate chips to the bowl and fold them in gently.
Evenly divide the batter between the 12 muffin liners. Use a cookie scoop to place the batter in each muffin tin if preferred.
Top each muffin with a few chocolate chips, a small amount of shredded coconut, and a sprinkle of coconut sugar or brown sugar if desired.
Bake the muffins for 17-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool for 10 minutes before eating. If you have leftovers, freeze them in an air-tight container and remove them from the freezer 20 minutes before serving.
