Tips:
- Ripe bananas contribute natural sweetness and moisture to the muffins. Chock-full of potassium which helps you keep your blood pressure in check, your bones strong, and your muscles healthy. They're also a great source of vitamin C!
- Sunflower seed butter (Sun Butter) is an ideal substitute for nut butters, making these muffins nut-free and school-friendly. Sun Butter is packed with nutrients your body needs like healthy fats, vitamin E, and magnesium. Combined it with the eggs, and you have a protein boost that tastes great and will keep you feeling full and energized.
- Wood's Maple Syrup adds a rich, authentic maple flavor that pairs perfectly with the bananas. It's rich in antioxidants, manganese, and zinc which helps reduce inflammation, assists your body in assimilating nutrients, and keeps your immune system functioning in tip-top shape (You all know how I love my maple!).
- Lily's chocolate chips offer a chocolaty indulgence with no inflammatory cane sugars or high fructose corn syrup to keep this muffin's healthy ingredients doing what nature intended.
- Consider adding a handful of chopped nuts or dried fruits for extra texture and flavor.

Prep Time

Cook Time
8-14 minutes

Ingredients
-
1 cup Original Sun Butter
- 2 ripe bananas peeled
- 2 eggs
-
¼ Wood's Maple Syrup
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
-
Option—Melted butter and Wood's Maple Sprinkles to top.
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375° F.
- Grease your muffin tins or use paper or silicon cup liners (We used Avocado oil as a heart-healthy substitute).
- Add all ingredients except your chips to a blender.
- Blend on medium until batter is well incorporated (It will be runnier than normal muffin batter so don't worry).
- Fold in your chocolate chips (We used Lily's milk chocolate because they don't contain refined sugar).
Bake your muffins. Bake times will vary depending on the size but our tiny muffins took 9 minutes, regular size took 11, and large took 14 minutes. Toothpick test them and when it comes out mostly clean they're done. They'll finish cooking as they cool in the pans (I doubled my recipe!).
Recipe Note
We melted some butter and brushed the tops of some of the muffins after they cooled a little and sprinkled them with Wood's Maple Sprinkles. This went perfectly with the muffins we left the chocolate out of, but was good on them all.
These will store in the refrigerator for up to a week, but ours have never made it that long! They get gobbled right up...
