Ingredients

2 ripe bananas
1 cup pitted dates
½ cup almond butter
½ cup coconut flour
¼ cup coconut oil, melted
¼ cup palm shortening
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup dark chocolate chips
½ cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
Puree bananas and dates in a food processor until smooth. Add almond butter, coconut flour, coconut oil, palm shortening, cocoa powder, baking soda, vanilla extract, and salt. Pulse to make a thick batter, scraping sides to fully incorporate ingredients.
Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling them 2/3 full. Toss chocolate chips and walnuts together in a small bowl, then sprinkle on top of each muffin, pressing them gently into tops.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 16 to 18 minutes.

Ingredients

2 cups white whole wheat flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, lightly toasted

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375°F Grease 9 muffin cups.
In large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In small bowl beat oil and eggs together. Add bananas and vanilla.
Add wet ingredients to flour mixture, stirring only until just blended. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts (do not over mix).
If batter is too dry, add another tablespoon vegetable oil. However, note that muffin batter should be on the thick, lumpy side.
Fill muffin cups to about a 1/4 inches below the rim (about a scant ¼ cup batter per muffin cup).
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until golden brown and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Let stand several minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool.
