Ingredients
2 cups Kodiak Power Cakes Mix - Buttermilk*
2 ripe bananas, mashed (the riper the banana, the sweeter the muffin)***
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (any milk will work)
1 egg
1/4 cup maple syrup**
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips**** (save a couple of tablespoons for topping the muffins)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Add Kodiak Cakes Mix to a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash the banana in a separate mixing bowl or shallow bowl.
Combine mashed banana with milk, egg, maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Add liquid ingredients to Kodiak Cakes Mix and stir until just combined. Gently fold in mini chocolate chips. I like to save a couple of tablespoons to top the muffins before baking and make them look prettier.
Use a large spoon to transfer batter to the muffin pan and fill all 12 muffin cavities evenly; about 3/4 full. Sprinkle with extra mini chocolate chips.
Bake at 350ºF. for about 22 minutes or until a golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out slightly moist. Cool muffins for 5 minutes then remove and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Muffins are best served warm and even better the next day.
