Ingredients
Method
- Heat your oven to 180°C and grease a 12-hole muffin tin (or line it).
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, flaxseed, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a second bowl, mash the bananas well, then stir in the eggs, milk, maple syrup, nut or seed butter, and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour the wet into the dry and fold gently until just combined. A few lumps are fine - don't overmix.
- Fold through the chocolate chips.
- Spoon into the tin, about ¼ cup per muffin. Scatter a few extra chips on top.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden and a skewer comes out clean.
- Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack.
