Banana Muffins with Chocolate Chip Streusel Topping
Good Afternoon!
Or morning, or night, depending on what time you decided to read this. Or, if you are my amazing husband and are across the world reading this. ;)
The other day I was just doing my normal scroll through Facebook when I came across Danielle Walkers, Against All Grain, page. If you haven't already I highly recommend looking at her website.
She had just posted the recipe for these amazing paleo muffins. I have become fascinated lately with paleo baked goods and this one instantly caught my attention. I hadn't yet done a recipe with both coconut flour and almond flour and was curious as to what the consistency was like.
Overall, I am very pleased with how they turned out. It was the perfect treat without the guilty feeling that comes along with eating other baked goods.
I say you need to go make these right now!!!
Ingredients
4 medium eggs, room temperature
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons coconut oil, softened
½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
½ cup coconut flour
¼ cup blanched almond flour
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
3 overly ripe medium sized bananas
¼ cup milk (Coconut or Almond Milk)
¼ cup chocolate chips (optional)
For the Streusel
¼ cup pecan
s1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons chocolate chips(either homemade or Enjoy Life)
Let's get this party started!
Grab your stand mixer out and we are going to use the wonderful paddle attachment.
If you don't have a mixer you could easily use the good ol' hand mixer. The batter is thick which is why we use the paddle on the stand mixer.
Like most baked goods we need to cream some of the ingredients. The ingredients included in this battle is the softened coconut oil, honey, and vanilla.
Add one egg at a time and beat it to death, just kidding don't do that. That was pretty violent of me to say. Just make sure you mix them in.
Look at all these poor eggs. They have been through so much, all cracked up now.
Add the vinegar.
Get all the dry ingredients and mix them all together like they have never been mixed before.
Add those very well mixed and loved dry ingredients slowly to the wet ingredients.
Go ahead and grab those gross, ugly bananas and add them to your milk. Mash them in and make the goopy mixture.
We are going to put this lovely looking mixture in with the batter along with the chocolate chips if you choose to put some in your batter. Speaking of chocolate chips if you haven't tried the Enjoy Life chocolate chips go buy a bag now! They are to die for, kind of like those eggs earlier they died for our amazing muffins. Okay I think I have been weird enough. ;)
Fold it all in. Yum.
Grab a muffin tin and put some paper muffin cups in there.
Fill them up about 3/4 full. I used an icecream scoop for this and you must use one!!! Just kidding, you can choose to use whatever you like.
For the streusel topping all you do is put all of the ingredients except for the chocolate chips in a processor or blender and chop away! Just make sure the pecans are finely chopped. Stir in the chocolate chips after you are done blending/chopping.
Sprinkle the streusel topping on top of the muffins.
Make sure your oven is at a warm and toasty 350 degrees. Bake your muffins for 15- 20 minutes until they are brown and your toothpick comes out clean when you stick it in the muffin.
I just have to say, yum! Look at how amazing they come out! Let them cool off and then sink your teeth into those moist and delicious muffins.
Now go make them for yourself.
Hurry!
