Vegan Banana Chocolate Chunk Muffins!
These Vegan Banana Chocolate Chunk Muffins are so moist and delicious. It has taken me many years to create a banana recipe for the blog because I am usually not a huge fan of banana flavour. After some requests I finally made banana muffins and I am now a convert. These muffins are so soft with the perfect amount of sweetness.
I used whole food ingredients like oats, coconut flour, flax seeds, and coconut milk to create this healthier version of a regular muffin. These muffins are also vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar free. I like using dark chocolate sweetened naturally with coconut sugar. For anyone in Canada, I use Zazubean Dark Chocolate. When I’m in the US I buy HU Kitchen Simple Dark Chocolate.
