Chocolate in a lunchbox is bound to keep kids happy..... but it doesn't have to be an unhealthy type of chocolate! Try this treat to keep them happy :-)
CHOC CHIP BANANA MUFFINS
(Makes 12)
(Makes 12)
2 Tablespoons ground flax
3/4 cup plant milk
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 overripe bananas
1/2 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1/2 cup dairy free chocolate chips (I used Sweet William - cacao nibs would work too)
2 cups wholemeal SR flour
Whisk together the flax seeds with 6 Tablespoons boiling water - set aside to thicken.
In a measuring jug combine the milk with the apple cider vinegar - set aside to thicken.
In a large mixing bowl mash the bananas. Add the applesauce, vanilla, milk mixture & coconut sugar. Whisk until well combined, then stir through the flax seed mixture.
Gently fold the flour and chocolate chips into the wet ingredients until just combined - do not overmix.
Using an ice-cream scoop - pour a scoop full of mixture into a muffin tray.
Bake in a preheated 180C oven for 30minutes or until golden and cooked through.
I LOVE banana muffins! Great recipe. I wouldn't mind one of these in my lunchbox at all ;)
ReplyDeletehehe yes I think they also are quite adult friendly really!!!!!! ;-)
DeleteWe're on a low sugar kick, so I made these this morning without the sugar or chocolate and they were great, thanks.
ReplyDeleteYay! Glad to hear you could make them work even without the sugar (and chocolate!) :-)
DeleteSounds great. I've never heard of coconut sugar before.
ReplyDeleteI used to only be able to find it in health food stores & now even our regular grocery store is stocking it!
Delete[ Smiles ] I don't think that I could ever say, "No," to vegan muffins.
