Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 3 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 very ripe bananas mashed, about 1 1/4 cups
- 1 cup real maple syrup
- 4 tablespoons light olive oil
- 4 large egg whites
- 3 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/3 cup chocolate almond butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line muffin tins with paper liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- In large bowl, stir dry ingredients together until combined. In separate bowl, whisk maple syrup, olive oil, egg whites and vanilla together until combined. Form a well in dry ingredients. Pour in mashed banana and wet ingredients. Stir until just combined. Spoon into prepared pans and set aside.
- Lightly warm chocolate almond butter in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to loosen it up and drizzle 1-2 teaspoons over the tops of each muffin. Use a toothpick to swirl the chocolate into the batter and bake 20-25 minutes or until completely cooked.
