Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons ground flaxseed + 4 tablespoons warm water*
  • 1¾ cups whole wheat pastry flour, (or white/wheat mix)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ⅔ cup almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup
  • ⅓ cup olive oil or any neutral oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe banana, about 2 bananas
  • ½ cup chocolate chips, optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease or spray a 12-cup muffin tin.
  • In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed and warm water and set aside to thicken for 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the almond milk, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, oil, and vanilla and stir to combine. Stir in the flaxseed mixture.
