These chocolate chip banana muffins are something I used to make all the time when I first went vegan. They were something that was so familiar to what I ate as a non-vegan, so a bit of "comfort food" to start with really. They were also really easy to veganise, it's pretty impossible to mess up muffins!
This has been one of those weeks where I just want to eat all the bad things (I'm looking at you, Fry's Peppermint Cream). I figured that making your own snacks would mean they're a little bit healthier, and also you get the satisfaction of knowing you made them rather than just going to the pound shop to find vegan goodies (something my work friend and I have been guilty of this week - check out her blog). I decided to make these gorgeous muffins so I didn't feel quite as guilty when I reached for a sweet treat.
I used to take a few of these with me whenever I was travelling anywhere, such as trips home from uni, visiting my boyfriend, or even just if I was out and about for the day. The chocolate fulfilled my ever-present chocolate cravings and the banana gave it that ~bit~ of health and made them filling.
