  • •250g self-raising flour
  • •80g light brown sugar
  • •1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • •½ tsp sea salt
  • •1 tsp cinnamon
  • •2-3 overripe bananas
  • •120ml non-dairy milk

  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a cupcake tray with 12 cupcake liners.
  2. 2. In a medium bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon and mix together.
  3. 3. In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Add the milk, oil, vanilla extract and apple cider vinegar and mix. Add the dry ingredients and mix into a thick batter. Don't over-mix.
