Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe bananas mashed
  • 2 free-range eggs
  • ¼ cup coconut oil melted (or butter) I also made these the second time with olive oil and they were just as good
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cup almond meal
  • ¼ cup cacao
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup finely chopped best-quality dark chocolate

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 160C(320F) fan-forced and line a muffin tin with liners (or use a greased silicone baking tin).
  • Place the mashed banana in a big bowl and stir in the eggs, coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla.
  • In another bowl, stir together the almond meal, cacao, baking soda and salt.
  • Stir the dry ingredients into the wet then fold in the chocolate.
  • Divide the batter between the 12 holes of the tin and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
