Step-by-Step Eggless Banana Muffins with Visuals:
Preparation:
Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and let it preheat while you gather the ingredients.
- Line the muffin tin: Place 9 paper liners into a standard 12-cup muffin tin. This will prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Mixing the Batter:
Mash the bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash two very ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Combine wet ingredients: Add ¼ cup of olive oil, ¼ cup of maple syrup, and ½ cup of milk of your choice to the mashed bananas.
Whisk everything together until well combined.
- Add dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ¼ cups of white whole wheat flour, 1 cup of almond flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, ¼ teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a rubber spatula until just combined. Don’t overmix!
- Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold in ½ cup of your favorite chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Baking and Cooling:
- Fill the muffin cups: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling them about ¾ full.
- Bake the muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 23-27 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool and enjoy: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, enjoy your delicious, fluffy, and eggless banana muffins!
Bonus Tips:
- Use overripe bananas for the sweetest and most flavorful muffins.
- Don’t overmix the batter! A few small lumps are perfectly fine.
- For a vegan option, use dairy-free milk and vegan chocolate chips.
- Make them gluten-free by substituting the white whole wheat flour with a gluten-free flour blend containing xanthan gum.
