Banana-chocolate-chip muffins
I think may have found a recipe to replace my favorite non-vegan muffins. My favorite non-vegan recipe comes from Joanne Chang of Flour Bakery in Boston. These muffins are so moist, not too sweet and delightfully fluffy. I've made a vegan version of them, but I haven't perfected it yet.
