Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat flour (240 g / 8.5 oz)
¾ cup coconut sugar or unprocessed sugar
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp vanilla (extract or powder)
1 cup soy milk (or other plant-based milk)
1 tsp apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
¼ cup olive oil
1 banana (about 150 g / 5.2 oz)
100 gr chopped vegan chocolate or semi-sweet vegan chocolate chips
1 Tbsp ground flaxseed (combined with water, it acts as an egg substitute)
3 Tbsp water

Instructions

Preheat oven to 160°C / 320°F in fan mode.
First, we start by adding the flaxseed and water in a cup. Stir them a bit and leave aside. The flaxseed will absorb the water and its texture will become like jelly.
Then, in a large bowl, add the flour, coconut sugar, baking soda and vanilla. Mix, with a marize (silicone spatula) or spoon, until all the solid ingredients are well mixed.
Then, mash the banana with a fork and toss in the bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients, except the chocolate chips (don't forget the flaxseed mixture!). Stir well until the mixture is homogenized.
Finally, incorporate the chocolate chips using the spatula (or spoon).
Lightly grease the molds for the muffins. Then, divide the mixture by filling about 3/4 of each mold.
Bake for about 25 minutes or until you insert a skewer in the muffins and comes out clean.*
Once you remove the muffins from the oven, allow them to cool, so that they don't dissolve when you take them out. After about 5 minutes, transfer them on a wire cooling rack. They're even more delicious when they're completely cool!

Notes

* If you see traces of chocolate, but not of the muffins' dough on the skewer, then they're ready. The chocolate has melted inside the muffins and that's why it comes out on the skewer.
