Add the almond milk, oil, and vinegar, and whisk until well combined.
⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk, ¼ cup neutral vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon vinegar
Stir in the buckwheat flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until combined.
1 + ½ cup buckwheat flour, ½ cup cane sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon salt
Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
⅓ cup vegan chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Divide the batter evenly among the cups and add a few extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
The riper the bananas, the sweeter the muffins. Overripe bananas with brown spots add natural sweetness and extra moisture.
Use 1 cup of mashed banana. Adding less or more will affect the muffins’ texture.
Spoon flour into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife for fluffy muffins. Avoid scooping directly from the bag.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–4 days.
