Double Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins



This recipe is adapted from Ricki Heller's Sweet Freedom cookbook. All I did was replace 1/4 cup of spelt flour with cocoa powder. This recipe is called Banana Chocolate Chip Mini Loaves or Muffins and is on page 36 of this book. I first used the original recipe which is also good but, this time I wanted extra chocolate.
Here is the recipe I used;

1 cup of mashed banana (2 large or 3 small bananas)
1/3 cup of agave nectar
Scant 1/4 cup of sunflower or light tasting oil
2 tbsp ground flax seeds
2 tbsp water
1 tspn of vanilla extract
1/3 cup of chocolate chips
1 1/4 cups of spelt flour
1/4 cup of cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsps of baking powder
1/2 tspn of baking or bicarbonate soda
1/8 tspn of salt

Whisk together the mashed bananas, agave nectar, oil, water and vanilla.
Add the dry ingredients and mix until everything is combined.
Put into a muffin pan that has been lined with cupcake liners.
Bake for approximately 25 minutes @ 350F
Makes 10 medium or 12 small cupcakes.
