Ingredients

1 egg
1/3 cup coconut Oil
1/3 cup brown sugar or cane sugar
1 cup mashed banana about 2 large ripe bananas
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips plus 2 tbsp for topping

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a mini muffin pan with cooking spray
In a bowl, add the 1 egg, 1/3 cup coconut Oil, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1 cup mashed banana, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
To another bowl, toss together the 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ⅛ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
Pour the flour mixture over the wet ingredients, and whisk to incorporate. Then fold in the 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips.
Divide the muffin batter evenly among the muffin cups, and top with additional chocolate chips if needed.
Bake for 12-14 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes and enjoy.

Notes

If you do not have a mini muffin tin pan, use a regular muffin pan and make 12 muffins instead.
Instead of chocolate chips, you can omit or swap with chopped nuts.
For a vegan option, use dairy-free chocolate chips and swap the egg with a flax egg substitute.
Use any flour you have on hand. Gluten-free works well, too.
