Chocolate Chip Goji Berry Muffins
1/2 c chickpea flour
1 c almond flour
3/4 c rolled oats
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
Dash salt
2 eggs
1 banana, mashed
1/3 c peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 c grass-fed ghee
1/2 c dark chocolate chips
1/2 c goji berries
1/2 tbsp coconut oil (to coat muffin tins)
Preheat oven to 350 F. Rub coconut oil in each cup of a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
In a large bowl, mix all dry ingredients (chickpea flour, almond flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon and sea salt).
In a separate bowl combine the wet ingredients and mix well (eggs, banana, peanut butter, vanilla, maple syrup and ghee).
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Stir in chocolate chips and goji berries.
Spoon batter into the muffins cups until the cups are about 2/3 full.
Bake for 14-16 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown.
Cool muffins on a wire cooling rack for about 10 minutes before serving.
