You’d never guess that these vegan chocolate chip banana bread muffins are gluten free! And they’re so easy! This healthy banana bread muffin recipe includes just a few simple ingredients — many of which you probably have in your pantry already.
1 1/2cupsBob's Red Mill Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour
1 1/2tspbaking powder
1tspvanilla
1/2cupdairy free semi-sweet chocolate chipssee my blog post for information on cocoa butter, a common ingredient in chocolate
1/4cupwalnutschopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350º.
Peel and mash the bananas in a medium-sized mixing bowl. The bananas should be a paste-like consistency with few lumps. I find that using a potato masher makes this very easy.
Add the maple syrup, 1/4 cup of coconut oil, gluten-free flour, baking powder and vanilla. Stir to combine. The batter should be similar in consistency to thick pancake batter.
Stir in the chocolate chips and, if desired, the chopped walnuts.
Lightly grease the muffin tin with coconut oil.
Fill each of the muffin compartments 2/3rds full with the muffin batter.
Bake for 18 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into a muffin. The toothpick should come out cleanly.
