Mini Chocolate Chip Blender Muffins - School Safe & Vegan

This recipe is school safe, gluten free and vegan.  If you take out the chocolate chips and substitute with 1 tbs cocoa, you can make it diabetic and paleo as well.
These muffins are easy and quick to make.  The recipe makes about 20 mini muffins.



What you need:
1/2 cup sunflower seed butter (or soy butter)
1 medium ripe banana peeled
3 tbs agave (or honey or maple syrup)
1 chia egg (1 tbs ground chia mixed with 3tbs warm water) or flax egg
1tbs vanilla extract
1/4 tsp baking soda 
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips


Prepare a mini muffin tin with oil or muffin liners and preheat oven to 400.
I your blender combine seed butter, banana, agave, chia, vanilla and baking soda.  Blend until it is smooth about 1 minute.  Add the chocolate chips and stirr manually so that they don't get crushed.  Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full and bake for about 15 min until tops spring back at the touch.  Let cool and enjoy!
