Vegan Chocolate Muffins

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1,5 dl sugar (brown if available)
  • 2,5 dl flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • (1 teaspoon vanilla essence or vanilla sugar)
  • 1 tablespoon cacao powder
  • 0,5 dl plant milk (I use rice and/or soy milk)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 75 g melted vegan butter
    (or neutral oil like sunflower oil – if so, add a bit of salt)

Method

  1. Mash the banana in a bowl.
  2. Whisk banana and sugar together.
  3. Mix all dry ingredients in a measuring cup before adding them to the bowl.
  4. Add milk and melted butter (or oil).
  5. Whisk it all together.
  6. Poor into muffin liners (12 if small) or a small cake pan.
  7. Bake them in the middle of the oven. How long? At what temperature? I’ve been using different ovens, both electric and gas, old and new, and I do what fits best for that specific oven… Use a wooden toothpick or the end of a match to check if the muffins or cake is done.

Tips

Last time I made it as a cake, and I added some sparkling water and a dash of multifruit juice. Did wonders! A couple of other times I’ve added chocolate chips and blueberries. Another time I added a mashed kiwi. Also yummy!

You could experiment as well, and see this recipe as mainly a guidance.

Bonne chance & bon appétit !
