Flax Almond Meal Banana Muffins With Dark Chocolate Paleo Recipes

POWER FLAX CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA OATMEAL MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 12 cup muffin pan with liners and spray the inside of the liners with nonstick cooking spray. This is important to do so that the muffins do not stick to the liners. I would recommend using liners, as they can be difficult to get out of the tin since they are larger muffins.
• In a large bowl or blender, mix together the Greek yogurt, almond milk, mashed banana, oil, egg and vanilla until smooth and well combined. Transfer to a large bowl, and stir in Coach's Oats. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes to soften the oats.
• After 5 minutes, add in the whole wheat pastry flour, flaxseed meal, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Stir until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips and chopped nuts.
• Divide batter evenly between the liners. Bake for 7 minutes at 400 degrees, then reduce heat in oven to 350 degrees (do not open the door!) and bake for 13-16 minutes more or until tester comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached. Allow to cool for 5 minutes in pan before removing and transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
