- liquid measuring cup
Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- ¾ cup mashed banana (mashed then measured- about 2 ripe spotty bananas)
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup oat milk (vanilla unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup gluten free flour (I use King Arthur 1:1 baking flour)
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup mini vegan chocolate chips (plus more for topping - optional)
Instructions
- Prep: Pre-heat the oven at 375° F and spray or grease a muffin pan with non-stick spray. In a small bowl add the oat milk and apple cider vinegar and set aside for 5 minutes.
- In a bowl mash up the bananas as smooth as possible and measure it out to ¾ cup.
- In a large mixing bowl add the mashed bananas, maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla. Whisk in the milk + apple cider vinegar mixture.
- Add in the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder to a separate bowl and whisk together.
- Fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture with a spatula.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour evenly into 8 muffin tin holes, (or more if you are using a smaller muffin pan) and top each one with more chocolate chips! Do not use muffin liners.
- Place in the oven for 24 minutes (unless doing mini muffins then check them sooner!) check to make sure they are done by sticking a toothpick in the center of the muffins and it should come out pretty clean and not gooey.
- Let cool COMPLETELY about 20 minutes before removing from the pan. Gently loosen edges with a butter knife.
- Remove and let sit to continue cooling. Makes about 8 muffins.Store in a sealed container for about 3-4 days.

Notes
Bananas: Mash the bananas first and then measure them to ensure proper measurements.
Room temp ingredients: Since this recipe calls for melted coconut oil, be sure that all the other ingredients are room temp (maple syrup and oat milk) to ensure that the ingredients don't curdle when added together, as cold ingredients would make the coconut oil re-harden.
