Ingredients  

Wet Ingredients:

  • 2 ripe bananas smashed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup butter, avocado oil or coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup sourdough discard
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups all- purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup ground flax meal or sub for flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Optional Adds in

  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup toasted & chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 cup toasted & chopped pecans

Instructions 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a muffin pan. My favorite muffin liners are linked in the blog post above! If adding walnuts or pecans, toast them in the oven while it preheats for 5 to 8 minutes.
  2. Whisk all the wet ingredients together in a medium bowl (2 ripe bananas smashed, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup avocado oil, 1/2 cup pure maple syrup, 1/2 cup sourdough discard, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract).
  3. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a small bowl (1 1/4 cups flour, 1/4 cup ground flax meal or flour, 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon).
  4. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, gently mix to combine. When only a few dry streaks of flour remain, stir in chocolate chips or nuts if using.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each about 3/4th of the way full.
  6. Bake at 375°F for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Enjoy!

Notes

Muffin Liners: These are my favorite (exact ones used in photos above) https://amzn.to/4i3IMhm
Muffin Storage: Store any leftover muffins in an air-tight container or ziplock bag at room temperature for up to 3 days. I recommend reheating them in the oven at 350°F for 4 to 5 minutes before enjoying.
