After insisting to Howie and myself that vegan, and therefore eggless snacks are far more than an equal to just your standard veggie ones, she took it upon herself to prove it to be true. And she really did. These irresistible vegan banana muffins with sweet apple chunks are the real deal – they taste awesome and are on the totally well-behaved end of the healthy spectrum. That’s some pretty sexy muffins. You’ll be pleased to hear they’re very easy to make too – all you need to do is chop an apple, mix it with the other ingredients, and chuck the resulting eggless mixture into a muffin tray and bake for fifteen minutes. Done!
Healthy Banana Muffins – Know Your Sugar
For obvious reasons, sugar gets a lot of bad press. And rightly so. It causes many problems, not least obesity and heart disease (1). But not all sugar is the same. Taking it from fruits brings many great benefits – it’s the added sugar we need to worry about (2). So how do we make that work for us? Use bananas to make things sweet! Brown bananas get really sugary and make a great natural sweetener – so sweet in fact they can be used instead of sugar. We use them in several recipes already – our two ingredient pancakes for example – and it works a treat. A very handy trick is to let a few bananas go brown, then throw them in the freezer. When you need one for a recipe, take it out, let it soften for a bit and you’re sorted. A ready supply of natural sugar. Before you rush off to try these mega muffins I’d like to shout out over to Christine from Vermilion Roots! She’s a great blogger with some lovely recipes. Have a look!
