Ingredients:
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 3 flax eggs (3 tablespoons ground flaxseed mixed with 9 tablespoons water)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Fresh blueberries or blackberries (as desired)
Instructions:
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin or baking pan with vegan cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Mash the Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork or potato masher until smooth and creamy. The bananas will serve as a natural sweetener and binder for the breakfast bakes.
- Prepare the Flax Eggs: In a separate small bowl, prepare the flax eggs by combining the ground flaxseed with water. Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes until it thickens and resembles the consistency of beaten eggs.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the flax eggs to the mashed bananas in the mixing bowl, stirring until well combined. The flax eggs act as a vegan-friendly alternative to traditional eggs, providing moisture and structure to the breakfast bakes.
- Add Baking Powder: Sprinkle the baking powder over the banana and flax egg mixture, gently folding it in until fully incorporated. The baking powder will help the breakfast bakes rise and become light and fluffy.
- Fold in Berries: Gently fold in fresh blueberries or blackberries into the batter, reserving a few for topping if desired. The juicy bursts of berries add a delightful sweetness and texture to the breakfast bakes.
- Fill the Pan: Carefully spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin or baking pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full. Smooth the tops with a spatula or the back of a spoon for even baking.
- Bake: Place the filled muffin tin or baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the breakfast bakes are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the breakfast bakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature for a delicious and satisfying breakfast or snack.
- Storage: Store any leftover breakfast bakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze them individually wrapped for longer storage. Simply reheat in the microwave or toaster oven before serving.
- Variations: Feel free to customize the recipe by adding your favorite mix-ins such as chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or dried fruit. You can also experiment with different berries or spices to suit your taste preferences.
