Vegan Mocha Banana ("Wired Monkey") Blender Muffins

Ingredients

• Bananas. The riper the better! Make sure they're very soft, with ample brown spots, so that they provide as much sweet banana flavor as possible to these monkey muffins.
• Plant milk . I like to bake with unsweetened soy milk because of its richness, but any plant milk will work.
• Peanut butter. You can use a different nut butter (or even sunflower seed butter) if you have a peanut allergy, but good old PB really does yield the best flavor.
• Maple syrup
• Apple cider vinegar. I promise this isn't as weird as it sounds! The vinegar reacts with the baking soda to give these vegan blender muffins loft.
• Vanilla
• Old-fashioned rolled oats . Steel-cut or quick-cooking oats will not work.
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Salt
• Chocolate chips. Remember to choose dairy-free chocolate if needed. You can also use unsweetened chocolate chips if you're trying to avoid refined sugars entirely.
