Vegan-Gluten Free Recipe Muffin - Tastes Just as Good as the Unhealthy Version!

Vegan-Gluten Free Chocolate Banana Muffin

Ingredients:

1/2 cup coconut milk (Or Chocolate Almond Milk to make it extra yummy)
1 cut up banana
1/3 cup canola oil (I used half olive oil and half vegetable oil, and I assume melted coconut oil would work even better)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup flour (I used gluten free flour)
1/3 cup cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Oil up the muffin tin with olive oil or coconut oil or that spray oil stuff or use muffin tin liners.

In a small bowl, mash the banana with a fork. Whisk in the coconut milk, sugar, oil, and vanilla. Mixture will still be a little lumpy because of the banana, but mash up as many large lumps as you can.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the banana mixture.  

Pour into the muffin tin, (cups should be no more than 2/3 full). Bake 18-20 minutes, turn the oven off and let the muffins sit in there for another 5-7 minutes, take them out and let cool for about 5-7 minutes before you attempt to get them out of the muffin tin.

I didn't make the frosting, and I took the original recipe from here: http://www.loveandoliveoil.com/2010/05/chocolate-banana-cupcakes.html
