Banana Chia Quinoa Chocolate Chip Muffins


Looking for something to do with your bananas? I made this recipe into muffins and I changed it overall a little bit. I added 1/2 cup chia seeds instead of that last 1/2 cup flour, I used oat flour instead of whole wheat and I added quinoa instead of millet purely because I had no millet at the house. Oh and I added some chocolate chips:) Enjoy!

Here is my version of the recipe but check out the original Smitten Kitchen recipe link below:

3 large ripe-to-over-ripe bananas
1 large egg
1/3 cup (80 ml) virgin coconut oil, warmed until it liquefies, or olive oil
1/3 cup (65 grams) light brown sugar
1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
1 teaspoon (5 grams) baking soda
1/4 teaspoon table salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 cup (180 grams) oat flour 
1/2 cup ground chia seeds plus 2 tablespoons coconut oil ( to soak up extra fiber )
1/4 cup (50 grams) uncooked quinoa
