Ingredients
- 2 & 2/3 cups (310g) plain flour
- 1 cup (200g) caster sugar
- Scant 2/3 cup (150ml) soy milk
- 1/4 cup (65ml) vegetable oil
- 2 bananas (220g)
- Scant 1/2 cup (120g) tahini
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp cornflour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Mix the soy milk and apple cider vinegar together in a small bowl to make vegan buttermilk. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the plain flour, caster sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and cornflour until everything is evenly combined.
- In another bowl or jug, mash the bananas until smooth, then add the tahini, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and the prepared vegan buttermilk and mix with a whisk until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold everything together using a silicone spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Scoop the batter into muffin liners using an ice cream scoop, top with banana slices or a drizzle of tahini if you like, and bake for 23 to 25 mins until the top is golden, and an inserted toothpick comes out clean with moist crumb.
- Take out of the oven and let it cool slightly in the muffin tray, then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Pro tip: If your tahini is separated in the jar, put the jar upside down, leave overnight, and stir with a fork to combine.
The wet mixture should look creamy and silky with no tahini lumps.
If you have time, allow the batter to rest for about 30 minutes. This helps relax gluten in the batter, and activate the leavening agent for a tall rise.
Always use ripe bananas.
