Vegan Banana Nut Muffins for Two

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 very ripe banana
• 3 Tbsp brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp vegan butter ((melted // heaping Tbsp is best))
• 1 small flax egg
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 Tbsp whole walnuts for topping

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and lightly butter two small ramekins with non-dairy butter (adjust number of ramekins if altering batch size). Prepare flax egg and set aside.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, mash the banana, leaving some texture.

3. 3

   Add brown sugar, baking soda, salt and whisk for one minute.

4. 4

   Stir in flax egg, vanilla, melted butter and stir.

5. 5

   Add flour and stir with a spoon or spatula until just combined.

6. 6

   Divide batter evenly into the ramekins - about 1/2 to 3/4 full - and generously top with walnuts.

7. 7

   Bake for 25-30 minutes or until tops are golden brown and a toothpick or knife comes out clean. Let cool for a few minutes, remove from ramekins and serve warm. Additional butter isn’t necessary - these are very moist and quite perfect as is.
