Are you wondering sometimes if you can bake or make something healthy and still tasting good? Well, I’ve got you covered! These banana muffins taste heaven and amazingly it’s without any sweetener or white sugar! Thanks to ripe bananas (they’ve gotten cute brown dots on them) they are naturally sweet and gives these muffins flavor. So don’t throw away those bananas, use them for baking! It will leave you satisfy and guilt free, do I need to say more? I guess not, so I’ll just go straight to how you can make these beauties yourself too!
Ingredients
• 2 ripe bananas
• 3 tbs peanut butter
• 2 vegan eggs
• 2 dl oat milk or any kind of plant based milk (almond works well)
• 3 dl whole wheat flour (you can use gluten-free flour if you like instead)
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 banana for decoration
Makes about 12 muffins
Instructions
• Mash the 2 ripen bananas, then add the peanut butter and mix well together.
• Then add in your 2 vegan eggs. You’ll need 2 tbs of flax meal which is crushed flax seeds. Mix it with 4-6 tbs of water and leave it to rest until it has soaked up the water and is like jelly so that it’s similar to the consistency of an egg.
• When you have mixed those ingredients together in a bowl, add all the other ingredients and stir well to you have achieved a smooth and even batter.
• Pour the batter in your muffin tins and bake on 220 degrees for 10 minutes and then lower down the degrees to 180, baking them for 9-12 minutes before they are done!
• Tip: grease the muffin tins with coconut oil so it won’t stick and leave them to rest for about 5-10 minutes before eating them.
• 3/4 cup or 12 tablespoons of oat milk plus more (I’d say half a glass)
• 1 cup or 16 tablespoons of flour (I mixed half with whole-wheat flour and the other with buckwheat flour)
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
Instructions
1. First mash the ripe banana in a bowl. Then add the oat milk and one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, that’s the magic behind the thickness!
2. Mix together the flour and baking powder. Now when I made them, I had to work with the consistency adding more oat milk as it was too much flour. Make sure it’s not too liquidity when adding more milk as we want them thick.
3. Let the batter rest allowing the apple cider vinegar to work and heat up a pan on medium high heat meanwhile.
4. Before pouring some pancake batter on the pan, add some coconut oil so it won’t stick.
5. When the pancakes are cooking, you can add some frozen blueberries on top on one side. Cook them until you see bubbles and when they are golden brown. That’s when they’re ready to be flipped!
6. The pancake batter makes up to 9 pancakes. I definitely recommend them with some maple syrup or honey, enjoy!
Step 2, we want this thick consistency. Play with the amount of oat milk to you have achieved the right pancake batter thickness!Step 5, when you see bubbles and on the pancake surface, they’re ready to be flipped! Add some blueberries if you like, it really makes them more tasty.We want them golden brown, I had my pan on heat 7 of maximum heat 9.Here you have a closer look at the thickness and fluffiness, real American pancakes!
These are vegan, refined sugar free and a much healthier version, I hope you love enjoy them as much as I do!
