  • 1/3 cup pecans, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Line a standard muffin pan with eight lines. Brash them lightly with oil. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix self-rising flour, turmeric spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine wet ingredients: mashed bananas, coconut oil, non-dairy milk, and orange extract.
  • Add wet mixture to the large bowl with dry ingredients and stir to mix with a large spoon until combined; do not overmix.
  • Fold in half of the pecans.
  • Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, add batter to the muffin liners in the pan. Top with remaining pecans.
  • Bake for 20 minutes until they are slightly golden on a top, and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Allow the muffins to cool for 15 minutes before drizzling with melted chocolate.
  • Heat a small pot over low heat. Add chocolate chips, and stir until very smooth and melted. Using a teaspoon, drizzle melted chocolate chips over the muffins.
  • Remove Banana Nut Muffins from the pan. Enjoy!
  • Store the muffins uncovered in a cool dry place up to 2 days.
