    0 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 box of banana quick bread and muffin mix (14 ounces), like Pillsbury® brand
  • 1 cup of water
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup of vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup of applesauce flavored with cinnamon
  • 1 diced medium banana
  • 1 cup of California almonds, sliced and divided
  • ¾ cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate, chopped

Step 1

To start, let's set the oven ablaze at a toasty 400 degrees F and beautify a muffin tin with some lovely paper liners.

Step 2

Now, let's work our magic on those muffins by following the package's instructions - just a little twist: use a quarter cup of oil instead of the usual half cup, and toss in a quarter cup of applesauce for some extra oomph. Mix in that delightful banana, a generous helping of almonds, and a sprinkle of chocolate.

Step 3

Next, lovingly spoon this delightful mixture into your muffin cups, ensuring an equal distribution, and top it off with the remaining almonds for that extra crunch.

Step 4

Pop these lovelies into the oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until a tester comes out squeaky clean. Once they're ready, let them cool in the tin on a cozy rack for 10 minutes before transferring them to continue cooling on the rack.

Step 5

For optimal freshness, keep these gems in an airtight container at room temperature, where they'll stay scrumptious for up to 4 days.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your almond flour in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and nutty flavor.
  2. 2. Store your chocolate chips in a cool, dark place to prevent them from melting or becoming sticky.
  3. 3. Keep ripe bananas in the fridge to extend their shelf life and use them in your muffins when they're perfectly sweet and soft.
