Today we'll be
making banana chocolate chip muffins. These muffins replace the usually
requisite eggs for baking with bananas, making them vegan friendly as well! To
start off, you will need the following:
2 cups flour
1/2 cup oil
1 cup sugar
3 ripened
bananas
2 tea spoons
baking powder
1/2 tea spoon
baking soda
2 table spoons
water
Makes 12
muffins
If you wish to
use self-raising flour instead of plain flour, you do not need to add
additional baking powder or baking soda. Also, you will need both a large and
small mixing bowl, a muffin baking tray, a spatula, and your basic measuring
implements.
We'll start with
the wet ingredients. First, peel the bananas and break them up so they all fit
in the small bowl. Use a fork to mash them until the resulting paste is roughly
uniform. An easy way to do this is to squish every visible banana against
the wall of the bowl until none are left. Once this is done, add in the oil and
water, and then slowly stir until the oil is absorbed into the banana and not just
floating on top. While this is going on you will want to preheat the oven to
375 Fahrenheit (190 Celsius).
As for the dry
ingredients, mix all of these (including the chocolate chips) into the large
mixing bowl with the spatula until the mixture also looks fairly uniform. When
this is ready, mix in the wet ingredients thoroughly until a consistent
batter is formed. There should be no dry powder at the bottom or around the walls of the
mixing bowl.
Now that you
have your batter, you can pour it into your muffin tray so each cup has about
the same amount of batter. Once ready, place the tray in the middle rack of
your oven for about 20 minutes.
And that's it!,
you have yourself some lovely healthy muffins! These muffins are great for
breakfast, a post workout snack, dessert, and just about anything other meal
you can think of. Please use responsibly.
