Why You'll Love This Recipe
These muffins are a delicious way to enjoy the natural sweetness and moisture of bananas while benefiting from the nutty flavor and nutritional boost of spelt flour. They offer a wholesome twist on a classic treat that feels both comforting and nourishing.
Directions
Lightly heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or give it a good grease with coconut oil to keep the muffins from sticking. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, melted coconut oil, mashed bananas, eggs, agave nectar, and vanilla extract until everything is well combined. In a larger bowl, mix the spelt flour, chocolate chips, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and gelatin. Make a little well in the center and pour in the banana mixture all at once. Gently stir everything together until just combined—you want the batter to still have a few lumps. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, then pop the tray into the oven. Bake for about 16 to 18 minutes, or until the tops turn golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
