How to do it
- PREHEAT & PREPARE: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F), then line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- MIX Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together Dilettoso Vava Vanilla Mix, chia seeds, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda.
- MASH Bananas & Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
- WHISK in the nut butter, almond milk, melted coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- COMBINE Wet & Dry: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not over-mix. If using, gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
- FILL Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- BAKE for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- COOL & SERVE: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- ENJOY warm or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Did you know?
Did you know that chia seeds can absorb up to 10 times their weight in liquid? This makes them an excellent natural binder in baking, replacing eggs while adding fiber, omega-3s, and protein!
