Banana Split Muffins
These Banana Split Muffins are chock full of all the things we love in a banana split ice cream sundae. Hearty and packed with healthy ingredients and still tastes delicious.
You know all the goodies that go into a Banana Split other than the ice cream?
You know what I’m talking about, The nuts, chocolate syrup, pineapple, strawberry syrup, and the banana. We can’t forget the cherry on top.
Well, I decided to put all these components into a muffin and keep them healthy, that’s right. These delectable muffins are made with ingredients that are not loaded with sugars and unhealthy fats.
However, you won’t know it by tasting these yummy gems.
You’ll think you are biting into one of those bakery type of muffins that are loaded with fats and refined sugars.
I promise you are not and you are going to love these just as much or even more knowing they are good for you.
My family loved them so much, I made two batches in one week!
Great for breakfast, snacks, and even dessert.
Bake a batch soon, watch how fast they get eaten up. It can be our little secret that they are a healthy treat.

How to make the best banana split muffins…
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper liners, double the liners then mist with cooking spray, Set aside until ready to fill.
- In a medium mixing bowl combine the flour, baking soda, powder, salt and cinnamon. Mix with a whisk to get out any lumps and lighten up the flour. Set aside while you get the wet ingredients together.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the banana until completely creamy and no big lumps. Add in the sugars with the coconut oil, mix with rubber spatula until combined. Now, stir in flax mixture. Add the rest of the wet ingredients. Leave out the nuts, dried cherries and chips.
- Add the dry into the wet, mix well and dip down to the bottom to get all the flour incorporated into the wet. Add the nuts and cherries. Gently mix in and try not to over mix the batter.
- With a large ice cream or cookie scoop, spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups. Top with chocolate chips. Bake for about 22 to 30 minutes. Check after 22 minutes. The muffins should spring back when gently touched and a toothpick should come out clean or with dry crumbs. Let cool at least 30 minutes on a wire rack.
- Can be stored in a sealed container on counter for two days or in fridge up to four days.
