Choco-Nana Date Nut Muffins

Here a yummy and healthy muffin to satisfy your sweet tooth. The sugar comes from dates, bananas, and a little chocolate - no white sugar, oils, or eggs.  These muffins are gluten free and vegan.







4 small very ripe bananas - I wait till they are almost entirely black. 
2 cups of Bob's Red Mill Oat Flour
1/2 cup unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk or Coconut Milk
1 package of Ziyad All Natural Baking Dates (about 1 cup pureed)
1/2 cup of chocolate chips (vegan)
1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans
1 tbs Cacao Powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt.

Directions:

1. In a food processor - add all of ingredients and blend well.  I use my Ninja food processing bowl. Easy, right?

2. Scoop into muffin tins. I use an ice cream scoop. This makes exactly one dozen muffins.

3. Bake at 350 until browned on top - approximately 30 minutes.
 
4. Let cool and enjoy!
