Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F/180C for 15 minutes. Line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper liners or grease it with non-stick cooking spray. Mix together 1/4 cup almond milk and vinegar; set aside for it to curdle.
  2. In a large bowl sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir in the sugar and make well.
  3. In another bowl combine together the mashed bananas, curdled almond milk, vanilla extract, oil and remaining 1/4 cup milk.
  4. Add the wet mixture to the well and mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  5. Scoop out the batter among the 12 cavities. About 1/3rd cup of batter per muffin.
  6. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean. Mine was done after 20 minutes.
  7. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool. If using paper liner, you should be able to lift the muffins off the pan after 5 minutes. Cool it completely on a wire rack before storing it or serve it warm with a glass of milk.
Taste:
  1. These vegan double chocolate banana muffins came out amazing. Both the taste and texture was great. It was not at all dense. It had a fluffy texture. The top of the muffins were dry when I left it on the counter but it did turn moist after I stored it in air tight container. The inside remained fluffy though. We all loved these muffins so much. The next time I'm baking these I'm definitely going to use whole wheat pastry flour.
My Notes:
  1. The original recipe used 1 and 1/3 cups of mashed bananas. Since I had only 1 cup of it I used 1/4 cup of milk for the rest of it. So if you have got 1 and 1/3 cups of banana you will have to use just the 1/4 cup of non-dairy milk to curdle.
  2. If you decided to use whole wheat pastry flour, I would recommend serving these muffins once it is cooled completely. I personally feel that the whole wheat flour-banana combo does not have a good taste/texture when eaten warm. Or it could be just me!
  3. These are very sweet muffins. I would definitely cut back on the sugar or chocolate chips if I bake this again. I think 1/2 a cup of chocolate chips or 3/4th cup of sugar should be perfectly fine.
  4. I have used Enjoy brand's mini vegan chocolate chips in this recipe.
