Are you tired of trying to get your kids to eat healthy? Do you want to sneak some nutritious ingredients into their snacks without them noticing? Well, look no further! These healthy banana muffins are not only delicious but also packed with goodness that your little ones will love!

What's in these magical muffins?

Imagine ripe bananas, sweet maple syrup, a hint of cinnamon, and a sprinkle of dark chocolate chips all coming together in a fluffy muffin. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, it's a reality with this recipe!

How to make these irresistible treats?

Ingredients
* 3 large overripe bananas
* 1/4 cup maple syrup, honey, date paste, or sugar (or other sweetener of choice)
* 1/4 cup milk of choice
* 2 tsp vanilla extract
* 1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour (Replacing 1/2 cup with almond flour makes them incredibly tender) ✨ I used 1 1/2 cups of oat flour and 1/3 cup of almond flour
* 1/2 tsp baking soda
* 2 tsp baking powder
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1/4 tsp ground cloves (optional)
* 1 tsp cinnamon
* 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
* 1/2 cup mini dark chocolate chips, optional
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, optional (toasting the walnuts first is yummy!)

First, preheat your oven to 350 and grease a muffin pan. Then, mash up those overripe bananas and mix in the sweetener, milk, and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients and then gently fold them into the wet mixture. Add in the chocolate chips and walnuts if you're feeling fancy!

Pop the batter into the muffin pan and let them bake to golden perfection around 24-26 mins. The aroma wafting through your kitchen will have your kids running to the oven in no time!

Why these muffins are a game-changer

Not only are these muffins a delicious treat, but they are also a sneaky way to get some nutrients into your picky eaters. The bananas provide a natural sweetness, while the whole wheat flour and nuts add a dose of fiber and healthy fats. Plus, the dark chocolate chips are just the cherry on top!

So, next time your kids are craving a snack, whip up a batch of these healthy banana muffins. They'll never know they're eating something good for them, and you'll feel like a sneaky genius in the kitchen!

    Hi Alex!

    Yes, you can substitute any flour. I often use Chickpea flour. When using Almond Flour I would use one cup of whatever flour you want and 3/4 cup of almond flour.

    Could you use almond and coconut flours for this recipe instead please? If so, would it be 1-1/2 cups of almond flour and 1/3 cup of coconut flour?

    Thank you for reading x
