Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 cup rice flour
  • ½ cup chickpea flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp xanthan gum
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 1 cup mashed banana
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/350 F and line a muffin tray with muffin cases. Alternatively, you can grease it lightly with vegan butter.
  2. Prepare flax eggs by stirring together ground flaxseed with the water, and setting aside for 5-10 minutes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the rice flour, chickpea flour, baking powder, baking soda and xanthan gum.
  4. In a separate mixing bowl, mix together the olive oil, mashed banana, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and the flax eggs.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry, and mix together until evenly combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix once more.
  6. Distribute the batter evenly between the muffin cases, filling them about ¾ of the way. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean from the centre.
