I find myself making a lot of muffins.

They’re good for my kids because they fit into a lunch box better than a slice of cake or banana bread.

And they freeze well, for those occasions when we don’t want to eat the whole batch at once.

But my favourite thing about muffins is that they bake quickly, which means you can have a tasty vegan snack ready in just over half an hour.

What ingredients do you need to make banana choc chip muffins?

For full recipe see the recipe card at the end of this post.

Well - the most important ingredient in this recipe is the bananas.

For these muffins you will need two very ripe bananas. The skin should be covered in black spots at least. But if it’s completely black that’s ok too. The riper the better.

  • plain flour
  • caster sugar
  • baking powder
  • bicarbonate of soda
  • water
  • maple syrup
  • sunflower oil
  • apple cider vinegar
  • vanilla extract
  • dairy free chocolate chips or alternative.
    .

Do you need any special equipment to make these muffins?

Substitutions

If you don't have chocolate chips you can  substitute 100g dark vegan chocolate chopped into small pieces.

Alternatively you could use:

  • raisins
  • sultanas
  • dried berries
  • chopped nuts eg walnuts

Or just leave them as plain vegan banana muffins.

Whatever you choose they’ll be delicious.
