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)

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.
