# Ingredients:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 30 g Vital Proteins Matcha Collagen or 7 g matcha powder
02 - 2.5 g fine salt
03 - 2.5 g baking powder
04 - 2.5 g baking soda
05 - 240 g gluten-free flour mix

→ Wet Ingredients

06 - 5 ml vanilla extract
07 - 120 ml unsweetened applesauce
08 - 80 ml non-dairy Greek-style yogurt
09 - 3 medium bananas, mashed up
10 - 60 ml softened coconut oil
11 - 100 g Truvia Baking Blend

→ Other Ingredients

12 - 40 g vegan-friendly white chocolate chips

# Steps:

01 - After baking, just let the muffins chill out on a wire rack. Keep them in the pan until they’re cool and then you’re good to eat or store them.
02 - Turn down the oven to 175°C. Let them bake for 15 to 20 more minutes. They’re ready when sticking a toothpick in comes out clean.
03 - Pop the tray into the oven at 220°C for about 5 minutes. This gets the muffin tops puffed up nicely.
04 - Fill each cup in the muffin pan about three-quarters with your batter. Try to keep them as even as you can.
05 - Stir in the vegan white choc chips. Make sure they end up in every bite.
06 - Carefully add your bowl of dry stuff into the wet mix. Stir just enough to mix it together—don’t go overboard.
07 - Grab a big bowl and toss in the Truvia, coconut oil, your mashed bananas, non-dairy yogurt, applesauce, and vanilla. Mix it all till it’s smooth.
08 - Get a medium bowl and mix together the flour mix, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and matcha collagen or just plain matcha. Give it a good whisk and leave it aside for now.
09 - Set your oven to 220°C. Line a muffin pan with paper or silicone cups and hit them with a little coconut oil or nonstick spray.

# Notes:

01 - If you want these fully plant-based, swap the collagen for plain matcha powder.
02 - Getting the batter up to about three-quarters in each liner usually leads to even muffins that rise up well.
03 - Using silicone or paper liners keeps things from sticking and your cleanup’s a breeze.
04 - Store the muffins in a sealed container—keep on the counter for 2 days, fridge up to 5, or freeze for as long as 3 months.
