Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond or cashew milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line the muffin tins with paper muffin liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, Chinese Five Spice and salt. Set aside.
