    Vegan and Gluten Free Banana Chocolate Muffins

    Dec 16, 2020 • Breakfast, Snacks, Sweets

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Say hello to these breakfast-worthy Vegan and Gluten Free Banana Chocolate Muffins!

    Naturally sweetened, enriched with protein and fiber and oh-so-chocolatey… they’re my latest go-to treat! We’re obsessed and ate half of them before lunch. I’ve realized that it’s essential to have homemade treats in the house at all times, otherwise I will snack on processed foods and things I don’t need to be filling up on. Pregnancy makes me ravenous at times!!

    We’ve tested this recipe three times now and I can confidently say it’s perfection. Don’t ask me about using other flours though LOL. The ratios and flours are what they are for a reason and if you change things up I don’t know how they will turn out because I’ve only made them this one way!!

    Sometimes people want to substitute for flours that are heavier or absorb more liquid which would make them dry. I understand wanting to use what you have but this alters the turnout you know?! I’m sure I will get questions though because most people don’t even read the posts anymore… I just have to write them for SEO ranking and google purposes. I’m well aware blogs may not be in style forever (or maybe they will be?! who knows) which is why I’m branching out to become a practitioner and have a more reliable source of income, rather than relying on ads and page views. I haven’t shared about this before because honestly, it makes me sad. Of course I will still share recipes and wellness posts but things change and the algorithms are unreliable.. blogging will always be my number one baby though. It started everything for me!!

    These delish muffins are one-bowl with all whole-food ingredients. Moist, decadent, fabulous! If making for kids you could omit the small amount of espresso/instant coffee. I only include it because it enhances the chocolate flavor. YUM. I subbed in mashed banana and applesauce to cut down on the amount of coconut oil and I love the flavor they add!

    They’re also loaded with fiber from hemp seeds, ground flax, almond flour and cacao powder! A couple chocolate-y breakfast treats alongside some fresh fruit and king coffee. Sounds like a breakfast dream to me!

    when you think “nontoxic” products are the hel when you think “nontoxic” products are the helping you but they’re actually hurting you. for me, they were too clean! And didn’t cleanse my hair properly! I was left with oily buildup and a really unhappy scalp which also meant no new hair growth was coming in. So my hair was thinning and dull. 

Then I realized I was doing it wrong and looked into a customized system for my specific hair type that actually removes the buildup and oils over time, leading to brighter, incredibly shiny hair ✨🦄 

DM me for a consult or take my hair quiz linked in my bio 🦄🦄🦄

People can say a lot about a lot. There are myths out there but until you try it for yourself, you really can’t have a say and you definitely can’t go off of hearsay! I would never promote something that isn’t safe y’all!

My products go by European standards which are the strictest in the world. All products are safe for pregnancy, breastfeeding and colored treated hair.
