Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease or spray a 12-cup muffin tin.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed and warm water and set aside to thicken for 5 minutes.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine the almond milk, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, oil, and vanilla and stir to combine. Stir in the flaxseed mixture.

Step 5

Add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the mashed banana and chocolate chips, if using. Use a ⅓ cup measuring scoop to divide the batter into the muffin tin.

Step 6

Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out almost clean. Let cool 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.

Chef’s notes

*If you’re not vegan, and you prefer to bake with eggs, use 2 eggs instead of the flaxseed and water mixture.
