Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins (Egg-Free & Dairy-Free)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with liners or lightly grease.

2. Prepare the egg substitute by mixing chia or flaxseeds with water. Let sit for 10 minutes until gel-like.

3. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

4. Mash bananas in a separate bowl. Stir in plant-based milk, melted coconut oil, maple syrup (or sugar), vanilla, and the prepared egg substitute. Mix well.

5. Combine wet and dry ingredients gently, stirring just until no dry spots remain. Do not overmix. Fold in chocolate chips and nuts if using.

6. Fill muffin cups about ¾ full.

7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely
