Plant-Based Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

I always try to have a batch of plant-based banana chocolate chip muffins in the house. They are so easy to whip up and save me every time I have to run out the door and need a quick snack. Andrew also loves having them packed in his lunch, so I always try to tuck a few in his cooler. Make these for your friends and family and you’ll instantly be their favourite person because honestly who doesn’t love banana chocolate chip muffins!

This Shit is Bananas

Banana chocolate chip muffins have been a staple for ages and for good reason, they are simple and so dang delicous! It’s one of those foods that reminds me of my mom, and actually kind of makes me feel like a mom when I pop them out of the oven. Making homemade muffins just feels super domestic, but I digress. Bananas really give these muffins that wholesome, hearty, and moist texture we’ve come to know and love. They also offer up some valuable nutritional benefits:

• Potassium: 9% of the RDI
• Vitamin B6: 33% of the RDI
• Vitamin C: 11% of the RDI
• Magnesium: 8% of the RDI
• Copper: 10% of the RDI
• Manganese: 14% of the RDI
