Wet Ingredients:

• 1 cup mashed bananas (Approx. 2 medium bananas) 245grams
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• 3 tbsp non-dairy milk (Almond milk used)

Dry Ingredients:

• 1 cup super-fine almond flour (we used oat flour so children can bring them to nut free schools)
• 1 1⁄4 cup gluten-free quick oats
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1⁄2 tsp baking soda
• 1⁄2 tsp cinnamon
• 1⁄8 tsp salt

Other Ingredients:

• 1⁄2 cup vegan unsweetened chocolate chips (can also use 1/2 cup of frozen berries)
• 1⁄4 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Set your oven to 400°F.
2. Prepare Muffin Tin:
   • Line a 12-cup muffin tin with 10 muffin liners. Optional: Lightly spray liners with olive oil to prevent sticking.
3. Mash Bananas and Combine Wet Ingredients:
   • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mash bananas. Add apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and non-dairy milk. Stir well.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
   • In a separate large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, gluten-free quick oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
5. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:
   • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Fold in vegan chocolate chips (and chopped walnuts if desired).
6. Fill Muffin Liners:
   • Pour the batter into muffin liners. Optionally, sprinkle additional chocolate chips or oats on top for extra flair.
7. Bake:
   • Bake for 18-23 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. We turned the oven down to 350°F once muffins were in the oven.
8. Enjoy:
   • Allow the cupcakes to cool before indulging in these irresistible Vegan Oatmeal Banana Chocolate delights!
