Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup Butter I use Melt Dairy Free
- 2/3 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 3 Ripe Bananas
- 1/4 Cup Psyllium husk
- 1 Cup Almond Flour
- 1 Cup Oat Flour

- 1 Tsp Baking Soda

Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Your IngredientsPreheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with Silicone liners or paper liners if you don't have them.
- Step 2: Mash and MixIn a large mixing bowl, mash your ripe bananas until smooth. Add in the dairy-free butter, sugar, and eggs. Whisk everything together until fully combined.
- Step 3: Add the Secret IngredientStir in the psyllium husk. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes — this allows the psyllium husk to absorb moisture and thicken slightly, which is key to the final texture.
- Step 4: Combine the Dry IngredientsIn a separate bowl, whisk together the oat flour, almond flour, rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Step 5: Mix Wet and DrySlowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined. Then stir in the dark chocolate chips.
- Step 6: Fill and BakeDivide the batter evenly into your prepared muffin tin, filling each about 3/4 of the way full. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Step 7: Cool and EnjoyLet the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or let them cool completely before storing.
