“These low sugar, protein banana chocolate chip muffins are delicious, gluten and dairy free and kid friendly. Plus, they are made without any refined sugar.”
– Stephanie May Potter (stephaniemaypotter.com)
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 2 Tbsp cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 large ripe bananas (mashed about 1 cup)
- 1/4 cup of no sugar maple flavored syrup (i.e. RXSugar brand)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose gluten-free flour (I use King Arthur)
- 1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp MariGold Creamy Vanilla Whey Isolate Protein Powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup monk fruit sweetener (granules)
- pinch of sea salt
- 1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp monk fruit or stevia sweetened chocolate chips
- Pre-heat over to 350 degrees and line one muffin tin with liners and spray with oil (I like avocado oil)
- Combine all wet ingredients (eggs through vanilla) with a whisk into a medium size bowl until well combined.
- In a smaller bowl combine the dry ingredients (flour through salt) with a whisk.
- Using a spatula, fold in the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients until there are no clumps and it’s evenly combined. You may need to add a little more almond milk or more protein powder to obtain the right consistency. Fold in the dark chocolate chips.
- Bake the muffins for 18-20 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes and then gently remove the muffins from the pan. Enjoy on their own or add a bit of ghee or grass-fed butter, if desired and enjoy!

These were great, but all of the chocolate chips fell to the bottom of the muffins. I followed the recipe exactly (i.e. no substitutions). Any idea why that may have happened?
