Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line muffin tin with paper muffin liners.

Step 2

To create flax eggs, combine 1 Tbsp flaxseed meal and 3 Tbsp water for each egg needed. Let sit for 5 minutes before adding to the recipe.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, flaxseed meal, and chia seeds. Set aside.

Step 4

In a blender or magic bullet, blend the bananas, Swiss chard, and egg. Pour into a bowl and whisk in the brown sugar, vanilla, and almond extract.

Step 5

Pour the banana mixture into the flour mixture, and mix until smooth. Fold in chocolate chips, reserving some to place on top of muffins 10 minutes into the baking process.

Step 6

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. After 10 minutes, place chocolate chips on top of the muffins and return to the oven. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before removing from the pan.
