Gluten Free Vegan Triple Chocolate Banana Muffins

Back to all recipes.
You can't beat a good gluten free chocolate muffin, add some banana to the mix and for me you are onto a winner! Banana makes an amazing substitute for egg so no need to use eggs in this recipe, with a bit of oil added you'll still get the softness and rise egg usually gives cakes. You can use any type of milk you like in these but coconut works especially well to give it an almost tropical Bounty feel!

Would it be possible to swap the oil for yoghurt or something else to make it less fattening? X

The oil is used in place of egg to give it rise. You could try making it with a flax egg which is 1tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 2tbsp water. Or if you don't need them vegan or egg free you could switch to an egg.
