Description

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups of stone ground flour
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 cup of cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup of sugar
• 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup of unsweetened apple sauce
• 1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil
• 1 cup of non-dairy milk ( I used cashew milk but almond milk will work too)
• 1 large banana – diced into small pieces
• 1/2 cup of vegan chocolate chunks or chips (I use Enjoy Life brand)

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350° and grease and flour or line a muffin tin with liners
• In a large mixing bowl whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, and sugar together until well blended and the cocoa is evenly distributed.
• Add the apple sauce, vanilla, coconut oil, and non-dairy milk and stir until just combined. Don’t overdo it or the batter will get tough. Gently fold in the banana and chocolate chips until evenly combined.
• Spoon the batter into the muffin tins until 3/4 of the way full. Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until the tops are puffy and cracked and a toothpick comes out clean.
• Cool on a wire rack for five minutes and then remove the muffins from the tin and cool on the rack until they’re cool enough to eat.
• Store in an airtight container for up to two days or freeze for up to a month.
• NOTE: You can add a half cup of chopped nuts of your choice to this recipe for added texture and protein.
• Enjoy!
