A vegan multigrain banana chocolate chip muffins recipe that is simple to make and healthy. Great snack or breakfast on-the-go. Gluten-free option.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup spelt flour
  • 1/2 cup rye flour
  • 1/2 cup buckwheat flour

Gluten-Free Option: 1 cup brown rice flour, 1/2 cup tapioca starch, 1/2 cup buckwheat flour (or any other GF flour)

  • 1/3 cup organic unbleached sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp aluminum-free baking powder (look for GF certified for celiacs)
  • 1/4 tsp fine grey sea salt
  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil (or walnut oil)
  • 2 Tbsp chia seeds mixed in 1/2 cup filtered water wait for 5-10 minutes before using
  • 3 ripe organic bananas mashed with a fork
  • 1/3 cup nut milk or rice milk of your choice
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup organic chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flours, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and sea salt.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, mix the olive oil with the mashed bananas until well combined, then mix in the milk and the apple cider vinegar.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients with the flour mix, then add the chocolate chips and mix gently with a large rubber spatula.
  4. Distribute the mixture equally into 10 lined muffin cups (you want it to be filled to the rim or slightly more), and bake at 375 F for approximately 28-30 minutes, or until golden on top and springy to the touch. Transfer to a cooling rack for 5 minutes.
  5. Unmold the muffins. Serve them warm or at room temperature.

Recipe Notes

They'll keep well at room temperature for a day or so, depending on how hot your kitchen is. If it's hot, put them in a paper bag in an airtight container or plastic bag, and keep in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also put them in plastic bags and freeze.
