Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

Directions

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F.

2. 2. In a small mixing bowl, prepare two "flax eggs" by mixing 2 tsp of flaxseed with 6 tsp of water. Set aside for 5 minutes to thicken.
3. 3. Add the bananas and mash thoroughly into the flax eggs while still leaving some texture.
4. 4. Add the coconut sugar, maca, salt, and baking powder, and whisk for about one minute until all the ingredients are incorporated.
5. 5. Add the ground almonds and rice flour, and fold in gently. Ensure not to overbeat the mixture here as it will prevent them from rising.
6. 6. Finally, stir the chocolate chips and date chunks into the muffin batter.
7. 7. Divide evenly among 10 muffin cups, filling them up about three-quarters of the way.
8. 8. Bake for about 18-22 minutes, until light brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. 9. Let cool for a few minutes and enjoy warm. Once completely cooled, store in an airtight container or freeze for longer-term storage.
