Almost Vegan Banana Bread Muffins

Alright people, I am not a Vegan. However, I realize it may seem that way due to the fact that I posted a Vegan recipe last week and I am right now. This is purely coincidence. I love cheese, milk and on occasion, an egg white omelet. I don't think I could ever give those things up. Ever. So, anyways here is the recipe: 

Preheat oven to 325. 

1C. Sugar

1/4C. Butter flavored Crisco

1/2 C. unsweetened applesauce

1 1/2 C. mashed bananas

2T. Milled Flax Seed

6T. water

2t. vanilla extract

2C. unbleached AP flour

1 1/2t. baking powder

1t. baking soda

1/2t. salt

1C. Dark Chocolate Chips <------- THIS IS THE NON-VEGAN INGREDIENT

 

~Cream the shortening and sugar. Add the applesauce, bananas, flax, water, and vanilla. Mix until combined.

In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients. Add to wet and mix until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips. It should look something like this:

 I like to use an ice cream scoop so the final products are uniform in size.

 Bake them for about 22 minutes, depending on your oven temperature.

Then take them out and eat them. Who cares if they're cooled off or not.  

You're Welcome.
