Nutty Banana Bread Muffins with Chocolate Chips - OIL FREE

Step One: 

Set oven to 375 F. 

Step Two: Bowl 1 - Wet Ingredients:

• 2 mashed medium sized bananas 
• 3 TBSP soy milk 
• 1 TBSP molasses or maple syrup, your choice. I used molasses. 
• 2 tsp's of real vanilla extract 

Mix all of the above ingredients together. 

Step Three: Bowl 2 - Dry Ingredients:

• 1 cup all purpose white flour
• 1/4 cup date sugar. Brown or coconut sugar will do too. 
• 1 1/4 tsp baking powder 
• 1 tsp cinnamon 
• 1/4 tsp salt 
• 1/8 tsp baking soda 

Combine all of the above ingredients together. Mix to distribute all dry ingredients so that they are evenly distributed amongst each other. 

Combine bowl 1 & bowl 2 and mix together. A few bumps here and there are ok. You don't want muffin batter to be perfectly smooth. 

Step Four: Other ingredients to fold in once bowl 1 & 2 have been combined: 

• 1/8 cup vegan chocolate chips 
• 1/8 cup crushed walnuts 

Use a silicone muffin pan or muffin liners. You can also lightly grease the muffin tin with a little bit of vegan butter or oil. Your choice! 

And I know I said oil free, but it's just a tad bit on the muffin tin. If you want to keep it oil free just use muffin liners or if you trust your silicone muffin pan, go for it! 😁😁

Normally I would say to only fill up 3/4 of the way; however, I almost filled these to the brim! Why not? Go big or go home! 

Before putting the muffins in the oven use 1/8 cup of crushed walnuts to distribute over each muffin. 

Cook for 23 minutes. Rotate pan in the oven at 12 minutes for evenly distributed baking. 

This makes 6 muffins. 

Enjoy!
