Banana Chia Seed Muffins Eggless & Vegan is a delicious bake suitable for Anti Inflammatory Diet and makes a wonderful breakfast dish as well.
For the second day of making Anti Inflammatory Diet, I opted to make a muffin with Banana, Walnut, and Chia Seeds. I had some Chia seeds on hand and decided to bake something with it.
Anyway, I baked this delicious muffin and was happy with the results. I would suggest you try these for a breakfast and feel happy indulging in a mildly sweet good filling muffin.
Ingredients
All Purpose Flour / Maida - I have used All Purpose flour for the batter. Sift it well along with leavening agents for a spongy baked dish.
Olive Oil - Olive Oil adds the moisture and makes the muffin very soft and spongy.
For the Egg Substitute - I have used commercial Egg Replacer. We mix in 1 tablespoon of egg replacer with 3 tablespoon Water and let it sit for 5 minutes. It becomes gooey and makes the baked dish very spongy.
Bananas - Banana is one of the main ingredients for this muffin. You can use very ripe banana that is easily mashed, so mash well and measure it.
Chia Seeds - Chia Seeds are the other ingredient we use. Soak it up in water for 10 minutes before adding to the batter.
Sugar - Regular granulated sugar is added for the sweetness. As we are using banana in this, you can add just a little of sugar. Also this can be easily served for breakfast, so a mild sweetness will be enough.
Leavening Agents - We use both Baking Powder and Baking Soda to help this quick bread to rise.
Walnut - I have used both walnut flour in the batter and chopped walnuts for toppings.
Instructions
Prep the ingredients and have them ready before mixing the batter. Since this is a baked dish, you will have to mix it just before baking it so that the leavening agents don't lose its aeration.
Preheat the oven to 175 C.
Grease and dust a 12 cup muffin pan or use paper liners.
In a bowl, mix the egg replacer with water and keep it aside.
In a bowl add the flour, sugar, Oil, Chia seeds, walnut pieces along with the flour. Mix well. Then add the baking powder, baking soda, Banana puree. egg replacer.
Mix everything with a spatula. The liquid should be enough to get the batter, if required add a tsp of water.
Using a mini ice cream scoop, fill the molds. Top with walnut.
The original recipe calls for 1 & 2/3 cup of flour. I halved the recipe, so I used 1/2 cup flour + 5 tbsp + 1 tsp flour.
Substitutions & Variations
You can freeze the ripe banana after chopping it for easy removal. This way you won't waste your ripe banana.
We can add some apple puree to this batter as well.
Consider adding some chocolate chips for a delicious chocolate variations.
If you want to add almond, you can grind the almond flour and add to the batter.
Storage
These muffins stay good for a couple of days when refrigerated. Store it in an
Warm it in microwave for a minute before serving it.
Serve warm
