 Growing up, banana chocolate chip combo has always been a favorite. And muffins are easy and portable that are great for people on the go, like we are. But we wanted more from our muffin. So we jazzed it up some by adding flax and almond butter for fiber and protein. 

 

Pure2raw recipe: Almond butter filled banana chocolate chip muffins prep time - 5 minutes bake time - about 30 minutes servings - 8 large muffins or 12-15 small muffins 

 Ingredients:

• 2 cups flour (we used a gluten free blend)

Mash up bananas. Place sugar, oil, vanilla and mashed bananas into mixing bowl. Then stir in your chocolate chips and dry ingredients. End with your water, milk, or non dairy milk of choice. Stir till combined, batter will be thick. Scoop muffin batter into muffin liners. We used a large muffin pan, but can use a regular 12 muffin pan. *note it will make a few extra

  

Once muffin batter in liners, use a spoon to form a little dip on top. Then spoon in almond butter.
