This recipe is adapted from Fat Free Vegan Kitchen with some tweaks here and there. These muffins require no added fat to make, and gets it's moistness from mashed bananas & applesauce. A special sweetener called agave nectar is also used. Read more Dates & walnuts add a special touch to complement the banana! They turned out tasting incredibly banana-y! The texture was on the gummy side- due to a lot of factors. For one I did not follow the given recipe exactly, I may have undercooked them, and also maybe putting the batter directly into the muffin tins is better than using paper liners. But the flavor was still amazing! Most importanly, these are healthy, low fat & vegan!

How to make it

- In another bowl, combine the mashed banana, sugar, soymilk, applesauce & agave nectar.
- Pour the wet banana mixture into the dry flour mixture.
- Stir till there are streaks of flour still present.
- Scatter the dates into the bowl (dates can be sticky so make sure you separate the dates by pulling apart the chopped bits to ensure they are evenly spread out in the batter).
