1/2 cup whole wheat flour, 1/4 cup quick oats, 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa, 1 tbsp corn flour, 1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp baking soda. For toppings - some quick oats, chia seeds and dark chocolate chips

Method: Add the bananas in a bowl and using a fork, mash them into purée. Add in jaggery and oil and beat well.

Stir in ground flaxseed, and let the mixture rest for around 10 minutes till it slightly thickens. Now add rest of the ingredients (except toppings) and give a gentle mix until well combined.

Transfer the batter in a parchment paper lined muffin pan, add the toppings and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C/ 350°F for 25 minutes.

Allow to cool and and enjoy! (Recipe: Divya Jadhav, Instagram/tabu_tinku_foodies)
