Packed with the natural sweetness of bananas and the rich flavors of coconut and chocolate, these muffins are a delightful way to start your day or enjoy as a snack.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tin to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly until smooth. You can use a fork or a potato masher for this purpose.
- Add the eggs to the mashed bananas and whisk until well combined.
- Melt the coconut oil if it’s solid, and then gradually pour it into the banana and egg mixture while stirring continuously.
- In the same bowl, add the coconut flour, shredded coconut meat, baking soda, and a dash of salt.
- Stir in the sugar gradually and mix until all ingredients are well combined and no dry lumps remain. The batter will be somewhat thick.
- If you like, you can fold in some chunks of chocolate or nuts at this stage for added texture and flavor.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow room for the muffins to rise.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 18-22 minutes. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, your Chunky Chocolate, Coconut and Banana Muffins are ready to be enjoyed! They make a perfect breakfast, snack, or even a dessert.
Tips:
- Make sure to use ripe bananas as they are sweeter and easier to mash, which will enhance the flavor of the muffins.
- If you prefer a slightly less sweet muffin, you can reduce the amount of sugar or substitute it with a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup.
- For extra texture and flavor, consider adding some chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter.
- Be sure to sift the coconut flour to avoid any lumps in the batter, ensuring a smoother consistency.
- If you want to make this recipe gluten-free, ensure that all your ingredients, especially the baking soda, are certified gluten-free.
These Chunky Chocolate, Coconut, and Banana Muffins are a tasty and nutritious treat that can be enjoyed any time of the day. With the perfect balance of flavors and the health benefits of natural ingredients, they are sure to become a favorite in your household. Enjoy baking and savoring these delightful muffins!
