Dark Chocolate Muffins

These incredibly delicious muffins will satisfy your chocolate craving and give you a sweet treat in the morning without all of the guilt.  My children love them and I have even been able to pass them off as cupcakes rather than muffins (way more fun)! They contain no refined sugar and are wheat free for those of you who have gluten sensitivities. I slightly changed the recipe, originally from yummymummykitchen. Enjoy!
**6/13/17 Recipe updated: I have removed the maple syrup and decrease the amount of honey from 1/3 to 1/4c.  I have also decreased the bake time to 15mins.  They are still plenty sweet!!

Ingredients:
3 ripe bananas
2 Tbs coconut oil
1/4c Honey
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 c almond meal
1/4 c coconut flour (I have substituted whole wheat in the past and it worked fine)
1/3 c dark cacao powder
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
Optional chocolate chips. I place three dark chips on top of each muffin before baking.

Method: 

Preheat your oven to 350F and line a 12 hole muffin pan with paper liners.  In your stand mixer or by hand, beat the peeled bananas until well mashed.  Add the oil, honey, syrup, egg and vanilla and mix well.  Add the almond meal, coconut flour, cacao powder, baking powder and soda and beat on low until well mixed.
Scoop the mixture into liners, top with chips if using, and bake for about 15 minutes.
