Chocolate Chip Coconut Flour Banana Bread Muffins

January 12, 2016 by jessfuel 35 Comments

These Coconut Flour Banana Bread Muffins are gluten-free and packed with chunky banana and chocolate chips! They are perfect for breakfast or as a snack with a warm cup of tea!

Chocolate Chip Coconut Flour Banana Bread Muffins

It’s mid-January already. HOW!? Seems like yesterday it was August and we were packing up Nick’s stuff for deployment. And now homecoming has come and gone, the holidays have come and gone, our vacation is already a distant memory, and it’s back to the grind. Back to “normal” life.

But that’s OK… that means lots of cooking at home and healthy meals. And lots of packed lunches and snacks. One of my favorite easy-to-freeze snacks to pack is muffins!

And not big, sugary muffins. But muffins packed with lots of healthy stuff.

I know, I know. There are chocolate chips in these muffins. But those are just for fun. These muffins are also packed with bananas and lots of healthy fats and fiber from coconut flour and coconut oil. They’re super delicious but will stick with you as a hearty breakfast or snack.

I love baking with coconut flour because it has such great flavor and a totally unique, moist texture. If you haven’t tried it, this is a great recipe to start with! I like this organic coconut flour, but you can use whatever brand you like!

You’d never know these muffins are kinda healthy. In fact, I love having one or two for dessert as well! I mean, hello, chocolate. You can never go wrong with chocolate. And these little muffins with quiet your sweet tooth without gorging on a pint of ice cream (I know I’m not the only one who wants to do that!).

    I can’t believe it’s January either! I feel like it was just LAST January and we started 2015! I can never resist anything with bananas, so I’m loving these muffins! I’ve never baked with coconut flour before, so i definitely need to start. Love this easy recipe!

    I agree, it feels like no time at all has passed! But there is something nice about getting back into the routine after holidays that I kind of enjoy. These muffins look so delicious! They’d be perfect for a coffee break snack!

    It seems like Christmas was a million years ago already! Time always flies, but I’m so ready to be eating healthy, non-holiday food! I’m always wondering what to do with coconut flour since I haven’t experimented with it enough, so I love this recipe! Pinning to try. 🙂

    Banana bread is a weakness of mine… along with muffins. So anytime you can put two things I love together, I swoon! These muffins look delicious and the addition of chocolate chips just sounds wonderful! Plus I LOVE that you used coconut flour! NEED about a dozen of these fabulous muffins! Cheers!

    I made these muffins, and they are delicious. I cut back the amount of honey, didn’t measure, but I had
    about 3 Tblsp. left in my jar of honey. Used 1/2 cup chocolate chips. They are plenty sweet for me.
    Thanks!

    Made these muffins last night, using a few small bananas that I had that were very overripe. So I did not use any honey, and put in a bout 1/3 cup of mini chocolate chips. Delicious! I have been looking for recipes that call for coconut flour, and I am happy to have found this one. Thank you!

    SO delicious. Just gobbled one up fresh out of the oven. I made a bunch of mini muffins, perfect sized treats for my little ones. Also, only added one tablespoon of honey. They’re so sweet and delicious!

    I made these this morning and already ate one and wanting another. Our bananas weren’t totally overripe but they worked out just fine. I decided not to use the total amount of honey, maybe 1/2 the amount and added unsweetened coconut milk for added liquid, which cut down on sweetness. Then in place of chocolate chips, I added same amount of chopped pecans. Great recipe!

    Wow, these had way too much nutmeg/cloves for me! I made a double batch, hoping I would love them, and I wondered about the amounts for the spices and thought about changing them, but decided to follow it as is the first time. Next time I would definitely do half the amount, or even a quarter of those two spices, and maybe a little less cinnamon too. I did adjust the recipe to 6 eggs and added in an extra banana, and the texture seemed to come out fine, albeit a tad spongy.

    Thank you so much for such and amazing recipe! I prefer baking with coconut flour but find it hard to find good recipes that don’t require a million eggs and a product that is too mushy. This recipe was perfect, I was even able to make a few modifications. Thank you again!

    Just made these – I’ve been looking for a coconut flour muffin recipe that works for me and this did it!!! The spices add such a nice smell. Did make one change – used one tbsp less of oil and used half olive oil – only reason was I didn’t want to melt the coconut and wait for it to cool so just used what I had ready 🙂 but didn’t seem to miss the extra oil!
