Vickys Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins, GF DF EF SF NF

Preheat the oven to gas 6 / 200C / 400F and line a 12 hole muffin tin with paper liners

Break up the bananas and add to a blender with the coconut milk. Puree smooth

Mix the flour, xanthan gum if using, baking powder and sugar together in a bowl

Make a well in the centre and pour in the banana milk mixture, the oil and vanilla and mix until just combined. The consistency should be thick like a banana loaf

Stir through the chocolate chips

Divide evenly between the paper liners, they should be 3/4 full

Bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until well risen and the tops spring back when lightly pressed

Let cool in the tin for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely

If using GF flour the muffins won't colour much. To make them more golden, brush with some extra milk 5 minutes before the end of baking time
