Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups flour I use a mix of 2 cups unbleached and 1 cup whole wheat
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • almost 1 cup coconut oil soft or liquefied
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups very ripe bananas mashed. (about 4 to 7 bananas depending on size)
  • ½ cup crushed walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons flax meal ground flax seeds mixed with ¼ cup warm water or almond milk.
  • Mix well and let sit for about 10 minutes. OR 2 eggs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spray a muffin pan with coconut oil.
  • Peel and mash the bananas, if they aren’t quite ripe enough I will sometimes place them in the microwave for a few minutes to age them a bit (I also find when the batter is war when adding the baking soda that they muffins rise better).
  • Combine the coconut oil, mashed bananas, coconut sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, walnuts until fully blended.
    Combining mashed bananas, coconut oil, coconut sugar, brown sugar, walnuts, and flax meal.
  • Add the flax meal and liquid mixture to this (some people call this a flax egg) to the wet mixture.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the salt, flour(s) and baking soda. Then slowly stir into the wet ingredients until just combined. Try not to over stir.
