Chocolate Banana Pecan Muffins

I love muffins. Especially if they are home made and
warm from the oven (with chocolate chips!)
I have used chia meal (left over from making chia oil)
but you can use chia seeds if you like, or substitute flax
meal. using really ripe bananas adds a natural
sweetness do you can use less sugar if you like.

Preheat oven to 375 and grease or line a 12 cup muffin pan.



Wisk together

1 ¾ cups flour (wheat, or your favorite gluten free flour blend*)
¼ cup ground flax or chia meal
2tsp baking soda
1tsp guar gum (or xanthium gum if using gluten free flour)
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt

Combine in a large bowl
1 large egg (or egg sub)
¾ cup coconut sugar (or your preferred kind)
1 1/3 cup mashed ripe banana (about 3 med)
1/3 cup coconut oil
1tsp vanilla

Fold the dry ingredients in to wet, stir just to combine.

Add

½ cup chopped pecans
½ cup dark chocolate chips

Mix nut and chips in to combine, divide in to cups and bake for 14-16 minutes.
