Gluten-Free Banana-Chocolate Chip Muffins

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2
Add bananas, eggs, yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla to a blender or large food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth.

Step 3
Sift almond flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together into a bowl. Gradually add the sifted almond flour mixture to the blender, covering, then pulsing a few times after each addition, until the flour is completely incorporated into the mixture. Stir in 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips by hand.

Step 4
Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups (I find it helpful to use an ice cream scoop). Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips over the tops of the muffins.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the muffins comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 6
Cool muffins in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes before removing from the pan to cool directly on the wire rack completely before serving, about 15 more minutes.
