   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1 3/4            cup  almond meal
      1/4           cup  flax seed meal
   1           teaspoon  baking soda
      1/2      teaspoon  cinnamon
      1/8      teaspoon  salt
   2             medium  extra ripe bananas -- (about 3/4 cup mashed banana)
   1                     egg -- slightly beaten
   1         tablespoon  melted coconut oil -- (avocado or olive oil 
also works)
   1         tablespoon  apple cider vinegar
   1           teaspoon  vanilla extract
   2        tablespoons  unsweetened almond milk
   2 1/2             oz  72% dark chocolate bar -- chopped (use vegan 
chocolate, if desired)

Prep time:  10 mins

Cook time:  20 mins

Total time:  30 mins

You can replace the dark chocolate with blueberries, or just leave it 
out and spread them with jelly or nut butter.

No sugar added; high in protein and fiber! Grain free, gluten free, 
dairy free and paleo-friendly.

Preheat oven to 350F.

In a medium bowl, whisk together almond meal, flax seed meal, baking 
soda, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, mix the following together until smooth and creamy: 
mashed banana, egg, coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, vanilla and almond milk.

Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined. 
Fold in dark chocolate chunks, leaving a few for sprinkling on top of 
the muffin batter.

Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups 3/4 of the way full. Bake 
20-23 minutes until toothpick comes out clean or with just a few 
crumbs attached.

Makes 10 muffins.

NOTES

To make vegan: I haven't tested this, but I assume you could leave 
out the egg and use 1/3 cup flax seed meal and 1/4 cup almond milk. 
Please let me know if you try it!

If you want to replace the chocolate chunks with chocolate chips you 
can. I recommend a little over 1/3 cup chocolate chips

If you'd like a little more protein in these muffins, I like adding 
1/3 cup of protein powder. I've only tested it with Aloha's Vanilla 
Protein Powder.

Feel free to add in walnuts or pecans.
