- Greek yogurt.
- Almond butter. You can use crunchy or smooth almond butter, depending on if you want to have some almond chunks in the muffins. I love to use both.
- Coconut oil.
- Eggs.
- Vanilla extract.
- Honey.
- Cacao powder. Make sure you use pure raw cacao powder and not a highly processed cocoa powder that contains added ingredients like sugar.
- Chocolate chips. Go for dark chocolate chips as they have a higher antioxidant content and less sugar.
- Baking powder and salt.

I just made this recipe because I'm looking for some lower GI baked goods to help with my gestational diabetes. The flavour was really nice, and they came out moist and rose well, but the batter was REALLY sticky and thick. So much so, that most of the muffin came off on the paper. I'm wondering if I did something wrong or if it is supposed to be like that? I was thinking of adding some milk next time to thin it out a bit, make it easier to scoop into the muffin cups and less sticky?

Hi Laura, I'm happy that you liked the flavor of the muffins! And I'm really sorry that they came off on the paper. They usually don't stick to the paper once they are completely cooled off. So I am not sure what caused it. You can definitely pour the dough directly into the muffin tray. Just make sure you grease the muffin tray to prevent the muffins from sticking to it. Since I haven't tested the recipe with milk, I cannot tell you whether it would solve the problem. I hope this helps! 😊

Mine stuck to the paper too.. Was wondering instead of muffins if I could just put it in a loaf pan and make bread
Beri
I'm very sorry! Making banana bread definitely works with this recipe! 😊
