Maple Banana Nut Muffins

Ingredients

  • 4 medium overly ripe bananas mashed
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Oil

  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

  2. 2

  3. 3

Ago's Notes

  • Adjust salt to taste based on your canned goods.

The natural sweetness of the bananas and maple syrup truly shines in these muffins. Their tender crumb is as comforting as a warm hug on a chilly day, making them a great match for traditional Italian sweet breads like panettone but with a twist of American flair. Enjoy them either hot or at room temperature with a pat of salty maple butter for a perfect balance of flavors.
