Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven 375 F. Prepare a muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • In a food processor or blender, add bananas, egg whites, coconut oil, maple syrup and butternut squash. Process until wet ingredients are smooth.
  • Next add the 2 flours, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt to the food processor or blender. Process until smooth. 
  • Transfer the ingredients to a mixing bowl. Add the oats and chocolate chips and fold into the batter. 
  • Spoon the batter into the muffin cavities 3/4 of the way full. 
  • Bake 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan 5 minute before transferring to a baking rack to cool another 15 minutes before eating. 
  • Store muffins in the refrigerator up to 1 week or freezer up to 60 days. 

Notes

  • My Amazon shop has more products similar to those used for this recipe and that I recommend to my nutrition clients.
  • Transfer your muffins to a cooling rack after cooling for five minutes in the pan after removing them from the oven. This will prevent tough or overcooked muffins.
  • Don't like chocolate chips? You can swap them for dried cranberries or raisins instead.
  • Use muffin liners or spray your pan well. Both of these options are ideal to prevent sticking.
  • Sprinkle some chocolate chips on top of the muffins right before baking if you want the chocolate chips more visible.
  • Make sure you measure your flour properly to avoid tough or dry muffins.
