How to make vegan banana blueberry muffins
Pre-heat the oven to 180c (350F).
Mash bananas in a large mixing bowl. Add Agave, oat milk and the ‘chia egg’ and mix well. Add melted coconut oil and continue to stir.
Combine all dry ingredients and cinnamon and gently stir into banana mixture. Add blueberries at the end if frozen, be gentle and do not over mix, just fold them in. Pour into 8 muffin cups and sprinkle some oats on top. Bake at 180c for 25 minutes.
Bananas have great health benefits. They are packed with essential vitamins and minerals such as potassium, calcium, manganese, magnesium, iron, folate, niacin, riboflavin, and B6. Blueberries are not only super tasty, they are incredibly antioxidant. Nevertheless they are a very powerful anti-cancer food as they help stop oxidative stress and DNA damage. Latest research suggest that blueberries have been shown to induce cell death in breast cancer cells.
