Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 25 mins | Total: 45 mins | Quantity: approx 16 muffins
Ingredients
1 cup (230ml) unsweetened almond milk
1/2 tblsp apple cider vinegar
2 medium size ripe bananas
1/2 cup (90g) golden caster sugar (you can sub with light brown sugar or coconut sugar)
1/4 cup (50ml) oil – your choice which – I used olive oil, but melted coconut oil, avocado oil and rapeseed (canola) oil should work too
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups (300g) plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/2 cup (100g) chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180 Fan / 200 C / 400 F / Gas 6 and line 16 muffin holes with cases. Alternatively you can brush a little vegan butter into the muffin cups of the tin, then sprinkle in a little flour. Shake the tin so that the flour coats the butter then tip out the excess
In a small bowl whisk together the milk and vinegar. Set aside
Peel the bananas and break into chunks into a large bowl. Mash with a fork or a potato masher
Whisk in the caster sugar, oil and vanilla
Whisk in the milk and vinegar mixture
Sift in the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda then gently but thoroughly mix together with a rubber spatula. Scrape up from the bottom of the bowl, making sure there are no flour pockets remaining
Reserve a few chocolate chips for sprinkling on the top then stir in the remainder
Evenly divide between the muffin cups, filling each one approx 2/3 full. Sprinkle a few of the reserved chocolate chips on top of each muffin
Bake for 25 minutes until a tooth pick inserted into the centre of one of the muffins comes out clean. If there's any raw cake mixture clinging to the tooth pick return to the oven until cooked
Cool for 5 minutes in the tray then carefully lift out onto a wire rack to cool completely
Store in an airtight container
