Clean eating with autoimmune disease

I alway love making banana bread but really dislike that it takes 70 minutes to cook. So making Banana muffins just makes more sense, especially when I am hungry and want to eat or I don't have enough time. These only take about half the time to cook and are just as yummy, especially when you top them with chocolate chips. This recipe makes 12 muffins.

Place all ingredients (except chocolate chips) into a food processor and blend until smooth.  line muffin tin and scoop mixture into each. place several chocolate chips on top of each muffin batter. cook for approx 30-35mins until golden on top.

Add maple syrup, vanilla extract and dates. Slowly add in oats, desiccated coconut and protein powder until mixture is smooth Stir through cacao nibs. Roll into little b
