These sticky and gooey muffins are an absolute winner. They’re pretty robust once cooked, which means they can also be used as ride food. To stuff these muffins, use a plant-based chocolate spread. An almond butter is also very nice. 

Method:

  • Preheat the oven to 160°C/325°F/Gas 3.
  • Put the wet stuff – the bananas, milk, vinegar, olive oil, maple syrup and tahini – in the bowl of a food processor and blend until smoothish.
  • Add the dry stuff – the flour, cocoa, baking powder, cinnamon and bicarb.
  • Grease your muffin moulds with a touch of olive oil.
  • Pour the mix into the moulds, then add the chocolate chips, peanuts and coconut.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow to cool.
  • Once at room temperate, cut each muffin in half horizontally, add a good teaspoon of plant-based chocolate spread or No-tella as a filling, then reassemble.
  • Sprinkle on some desiccated coconut and peanuts, and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
