Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Grease your muffin tin with cooking spray or add paper liners.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together the ground flaxseed and water (ie. a flax egg). Let it sit for 3-5 minutes or until gel forms.
    1 tablespoon ground flax seed, 3 tablespoons warm water
  • In the same bowl as the flax egg, mash the bananas well with a fork. Stir in the oil, maple syrup, and milk.
    3 bananas (very ripe is best), 1/3 cup oil (canola, olive, melted coconut oil), 1/3 cup maple syrup, 1/3 cup plant-based milk, unsweetened (I prefer soy milk), 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    1 cup all purpose flour, 3/4 cup whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • Stir dry ingredients into the banana mixture until just combined with a wooden spoon. (Don't overmix.) Stir in the chocolate chips.
    1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
  • Divide batter evenly between 12 muffin cups. Bake 18-20 minutes or toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
