These Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins are healthy & use natural ingredients like agave, bananas, whole wheat pastry flour, coconut oil & almond milk!

Ingredients

  • ½ cup almond milk, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 2 and ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ⅔ cup agave
  • ½ cup coconut oil, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 and ¼ cups mashed ripe bananas, about 3 bananas
  • 1 cup vegan chocolate chips

  1. Combine the milk and vinegar in a measuring cup and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 425ºF. Line a regular sized muffin tin with paper liners.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon.
  4. Whisk together agave, oil,, vanilla, and the milk + vinegar mixture and stir. Then stir in bananas.
  5. Stir together dry and wet ingredients – DO NOT OVER MIX!
  6. Fold in chocolate chips.
  7. Fill each cup in the muffin tin to be almost completely full, about ¼ cup. Sprinkle with sparkling sugar, if using.
  8. Bake at 425ºF for 5 minutes. Then decrease the heat to 350ºF and bake for another 5-8 minutes.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin and serving.
