Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• 1 cup brown rice flour
• 1/2 cup potato starch
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)
• 1 teaspoon xanthen gum
• 2 teaspoons egg replacer powder

• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup vegan choc (or carob) chips

Directions:

Sift brown rice flour, potato starch, baking powder, baking soda, xanthen gum, egg replacer powder and cinnamon into a bowl. Add vegan brown sugar. Using a whisk, mix well. In a separate bowl beat together bananas, vegetable oil, soy milk, silken tofu and vanilla until smooth. Add to dry ingredients. Mix until combined. Stir in choc chips. Spoon into greased muffin pans*. Bake for 30-35 minutes at 180°C (350°F).
