Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
Prepare the Flax Eggs:
In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water (2 tablespoons ground flaxseed + 6 tablespoons water) and let it sit for a few minutes until it thickens, creating flax eggs.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, oat flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and vegan dark chocolate chips.
Combine Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, mash the banana and combine the mashed bananas, non-dairy milk, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract, and the prepared flax eggs.
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps of mashed banana are okay.
Fill Muffin Cups:
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Sprinkle some extra chocolate chips on top of the muffins.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool:
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy:
Once cooled, enjoy these Healthy Gluten-Free Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins as a delicious and nutritious treat!
