#246 The Case of Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

2 cups unbleached flour

1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup sugar

1/3 cup vegetable oil

4 bananas, mashed

1/4 cup water

1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Line a 12-cup muffin tin with baking cups.

Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Stir in the chocolate chips.

In a large bowl, beat together the sugar and vegetable oil. Beat in the mashed bananas, water and vanilla.

With a spatula, fold in the dry ingredients until combined.

Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups (about 1/3 cup per muffin).

Bake about 35 min. or until rich, golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the centre of a muffin comes out clean.

Cool them for 5 min. in the pan then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serves 12.

PS If you have an extra banana, top each muffin, before baking, with a slice for decoration.

Welcome Foodies!

Wonderful to meet YOU ! At Vegetarian Detective, I share with you some of my favourite veggie, vegan and raw recipes. I know you’ve noticed that eating meat-free is a popular trend everywhere. Even going veggie just once a week. There are many reasons why. This is how. You're also invited to get to know me (Cynthia's favourite character) better by reading the mystery novels I'm in: A Purse to Die For and A Killer Necklace .

#110 The Case of Poutine

"Poutine is a typical Canadian dish (originally from Quebec ), made with French fries , topped with brown gravy and curd cheese ."—Wikipedia N utritionists worldwide may be screaming in horror that poutine has captured the world by storm but, proud Canadian that I am, I'm shouting, "Yippee!" To be sure, vegetarians are reputed to eat more along the lines of tofu, broccoli and brown rice but an occasional poutine won't kill us. In fact, fast-food poutine makes quite a comforting indulgence! Did you know that poutine gravy, which is generally made from a mix, is vegetarian? Valerie of McCormick Canada Inc. confirmed to me by phone that Club House Brown Gravy Mix contains no meat products. Silly to write out a recipe. All you do is sprinkle French fries with cheese curds then pour brown gravy over top. Seriously...yum! ♥ Becki PS To leave me (and Cynthia) a message, click on the comment button below.
