Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Grain Free, Paleo, Refined Sugar Free, Soy Free, Vegetarian

INGREDIENTS:

2 Very Ripe Large Bananas

1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter (the kind with just peanuts in the ingredient list)

2 large eggs

1/4 cup 100% Maple Syrup

2 Tbsp Honey (can substituted for Maple syrup)

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 Tbsp Vanilla Bean Paste or Extract

1 cup Semi Sweet or Dark Chocolate Morsels

Food processor

DIRECTIONS:

Heat oven to 400°F. Grease a standard muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.

Add first 7 ingredients to your food processor and purée until smooth and creamy. Fold in the chocolate scraping down the sides to ensure that it’s fully incorporated.

Using a cookie scoop distribute the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Add a few more chocolate chips on top. Bake at 12-15 min or until a tester comes out slightly a lean. I like to under bake them just a tad bit because they continue baking in the tin due to all the residual heat. Allow the muffins to cook for 10 min then transfer onto a cooking rack. They’re delicious when warm with all that oozing, yummy chocolate. Enjoy!

Serving size is 1 muffin.

Vegan Blueberry Muffins

September 5th, 2019 | Posted by Milana in Breakfast/Brunch | Recipes - (0 Comments)

INGREDIENTS:

1 Cup + 1 Tbsp Unsweetened Vanilla Ripple Milk

1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar (I used Trader Joe’s unfiltered organic)

3/4 maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/3 cup avocado oil

2 Cups White Whole Wheat Flour

1/4 tsp salt (I use sea salt by Trader Joe’s)

2 tsp Baking Powder (aluminum free)

1 Tbsp Corn Starch (I use Rapunzel Organic)

1-1/2 cups fresh blueberries (I used organic)

DIRECTIONS:

Heat oven to 400°F. Line 1.5 muffin pans with liners and grease with cooking spray. I use organic coconut oil (2 sprays in each liner). In a small bowl, mix together the milk with the vinegar and let thicken (you’re creating a vegan buttermilk). In the meantime, in a medium bowl mix together all the dry ingredients except the blueberries. In the buttermilk mixture, add the rest of the wet ingredients and whisk until combined well. Pour it into the flour mixture and stir until incorporated. DO NOT OVER-MIX. Fold in the blueberries gently. Use a 2oz. Cookie scoop or 1/4 cup to measure out the batter into the liners. Top with 3 blueberries and bake for 20-22 min until golden.

Let cool in the pan for 5 min then transfer to cooling rack.

To Store: They store well sealed tight in a ziploc bag on the counter for 3 days. In the fridge, for up to a week and in the freezer for 3 months.
