Calories 193

2 large eggs
¼ cup melted coconut oil (or other neutral flavored oil such as avocado or canola)
1 ⅓ cup mashed very-ripe banana
⅓ cup pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups oat flour*
⅓ cup cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
⅓ cup chocolate chips, plus more for topping

Heat the oven to 350F.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut oil, banana, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Add the oat flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir gently until just incorporated.
Add in the chocolate chips and stir to combine.
Fill each muffin tin section with roughly ¼ cup batter, then bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges begin to pull away from the sides and a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then cool the rest on a cooling rack.

Most chocolate chips include dairy. Be sure to use dairy-free if that's important to you. I like Enjoy Life brand.
Skip the chocolate chips to keep this recipe completely refined sugar-free.
