Servings: 12 muffins
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups (190g) white whole wheat flour (we use King Arthur Golden Wheat)
- 2 tbsp (16g) ground flaxseed
- 2 tsp (12g) baking powder
- ½ tsp (3g) baking soda
- ½ tsp (3g) salt
- ½ tsp (2.8g) cinnamon
- ¼ tsp (0.6) nutmeg
Wet Ingredients
- 3 very ripe bananas, well mashed
- ¼ cup (59mL) maple syrup
- ¼ cup (59mL) unsweetened soy milk (or almond milk)
- ¼ cup (62g) unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tsp (5mL) vanilla extract
- 2 tsp (10mL) lemon juice
Add In
- ¼ cup (44g) dairy-free mini chocolate chips (such as Enjoy Life)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375℉ (190℃). Prep a 12-cup muffin pan by greasing it or inserting cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg).
- In a medium bowl, stir together all of the wet ingredients (mashed bananas, maple syrup, soy milk, applesauce, vanilla, and lemon juice).
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. (Do not overmix.)
- Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips. Allow the batter to rest for 3-4 minutes.
- Spoon the batter into a greased or lined muffin pan, distributing it evenly among the 12 cups. Each cup will be about ½-¾ full. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for at least 5 minutes, then carefully remove them from the muffin pan and transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Enjoy them as they are, with a bit of vegan butter, or with a drizzle of nut or seed butter!
