    How to make gluten-free banana chocolate chip muffins

    This recipe couldn't be easier to make, really!

    All muffins ingredients combined in a large mixing bowl

    Combine all the ingredients except the chocolate chips in a high-speed blender until all the ingredients are nicely blended. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and combine with the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula.

    Divide the batter evenly into muffin cups

    Divide the batter evenly into muffins cups (use paper cups if you're using a tin muffin tray), and bake in the oven at 180 degree Celsius in top and bottom baking mode for 20-25 minutes. Be mindful to not overcook them!

    Get them out of the tin, and let them cool before eating. Enjoy!!

    Tip: it's super important to cook with the right oven settings and to not over-bake them. Otherwise they will end up dry and hard.

    Substitutions & variations

    • Other gluten-free flour- instead of buckwheat flour
    • Coconut sugar - instead of honey
    • Berries - like raspberries or blueberries, instead of chocolate chips.

    Why you will love these GF banana chocolate chip muffins

    • They are a healthy version that tastes unreal. 
    • The right amount of sweetness! No refined sugar added, these muffins are naturally sweet thanks to the bananas and dates.
    • Gluten-free & dairy-free.
    • Super easy and quick to make, the prep time is under 10 minutes and it is super simple.

    Equipment

    All you need to make these buckwheat flour chocolate chips muffins is...

    • High-speed blender
    • Large mixing bowl
    • Rubber spatula
    • Muffin tray + paper muffin cups

    Storage

    Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

    Note! Due to the coconut oil, these muffins can become a bit hard-ish if you're in a really cold place. If so, heat them up for a few seconds in the microwave to soften.

    Top tips to make buckwheat chocolate chip muffins!

    Use ripe bananas - they're naturally sweeter!

    Be mindful of the oven settings & time - I highly recommend using the top and bottom baking mode (avoid fan mode).

    Do not open the oven before 20 minutes of cooking, it will break up the baking process and the muffins won't rise as good as they should.

    FAQ

    Are banana muffins healthy?

    Yes! These banana chocolate chip muffins are refined sugar-free, naturally sweetened with bananas and dates. They're also made with buckwheat flour, which is higher in protein, dietary fiber and B vitamins than regular wheat flour.

    What temperature do you bake muffins at?

    Bake the muffins at 180 degree Celsius for 20-25 minutes.
