Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup unsweetened apple sauce
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
- 1 cup non-dairy milk I used cashew milk but almond milk will work too
- 1 large banana mashed, leaving some whole pieces.
- ½ cup vegan chocolate chunks or chips I use Enjoy Life brand
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (176C) 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 ¾ of the way full. Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until the tops are puffy and cracked and they spring back when gently pressed.
- 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.
