Ingredients

For The Muffins:

  • 1 large ripe banana mashed
  • 180 g granulated sugar
  • 240 ml soy milk
  • 100 g smooth peanut butter
  • 2.5 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 75 ml vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 275 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 100 g vegan chocolate chips
Metric - US Customary

Instructions

Preparation:

  • Preheat your oven to 200 Celsius (390F).
  • Line two 6-hole muffin trays with cupcake liners.
  • Grease all 12 liners with a drop of oil. Set aside.

Make the muffin batter:

  • Add the mashed banana, sugar, soy milk, peanut butter, vinegar, oil and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl. Whisk well.
  • Gradually fold in the flour to the mixture, then fold in the baking powder and salt. Don't over-mix. Make sure that there are no remaining pockets of flour.
  • Finally fold in your vegan chocolate chips. 
  • Pour the muffin batter equally into the 12 cupcake liners. 

Bake the muffins:

  • Place the muffin trays into the center of the preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown. A skewer should come out completely clean. Every oven is different so they may take 25 minutes to bake.
  • Allow the muffins to cool in the trays for 10-15 minutes then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool fully.

Notes

  • Over-mixing the muffin batter will result in you having dense muffins instead of them being light and fluffy due the gluten becoming stronger and more activated. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet and you will have a delicious outcome.
  • Natural peanut butter can be quite tough. If this is the case for you, place it in the microwave for 15 second intervals and keep stirring in between.
