Vegan Peanut Butter Banana Bomb Muffins

Ingredients:

• 2 T ground flax + 6 T water, whisked (replaces 2 eggs)
• 1 t vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup agave (or you could use maple syrup probably)
• 1/4 cup organic virgin coconut oil
• 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (2 small)
• 1/2 cup non-dairy milk (I used hemp)
• 1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 T wheat germ
• 1 t cinnamon
• pinch of nutmeg
• pinch of fine grain sea salt
• 1 t baking soda
• 1/4 cup plain soy yogurt (or regular)
• 1 T agave (or maple syrup)
• 1 heaping T peanut butter
• 1 small ripe banana

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 325F.
2. Whisk the dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
3. In a small bowl, whisk the flax + water to create the ‘eggs’. Allow it to sit for a few minutes.
4. In a large bowl, mix the wet ingredients together.
5. Add flax mixture and whisk.
6. Fold dry ingredients into the wet ingredients being careful not to over stir.
7. Place batter in a pre-greased muffin pan.
8. Optional: Sprinkle with walnuts or carob nibs.
9. Bake for 18-20 minutes.
10. While the muffins are baking prepare the filling. Mix yogurt, peanut butter, sweetener, and banana together being sure to get the clumps out.
11. Place into a zip lock bag and set aside. Don’t cut the hole until just before filling (it leaks out).
12. Once muffins are out of the oven and cooled, cut the hat of the muffin and fill. Place hat back on.
13. Now enjoy your banana bombs with a big cup ‘o tea, a loved one, and some great reading material. 🙂
