Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients; 300 g All purpose flour, 45 g Desiccated coconut and 1 tbs Baking powder
  • In a separate bowl, mash 150 g Bananas and then whisk in all the other wet ingredients; 167 ml Maple Syrup, 52 ml Coconut oil, 124 ml Aquafaba, 118 ml Dairy free milk, 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overwhisk the batter, as this can lead to tough muffins.
  • Line your muffin tray with muffin papers or grease each muffin cup. Evenly scoop out the batter into each muffin cup. Sprinkle some desiccated coconut on top of each muffin batter and add a sliced piece of banana on top.
  • Place the filled muffin tray into a preheated fan-forced oven 220C (428F) for 5 minutes, then turn the heat down to 190C (375F) and bake the muffins for an additional 15-16 minutes or until the muffins spring back when touched (see notes). Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely

Notes

The reason why muffins are baked at a higher temperature to start is to help build a dome on the muffin. It is important the heat of the oven is turned down after 5 minutes.
