vegan banana muffin

Vegan Banana Muffins make the best grab and go breakfast or afternoon treat. All you need is ripe, spotty bananas, plus 10 easy ingredients!

Vegan Banana Muffins

flax

water

all purpose flour (spooned and leveled)

baking powder

baking soda

cinnamon

salt

ripe* bananas (mashed (about 1 cup)

light brown sugar

non-dairy milk

vegan butter oil

vanilla extract

apple cider vinegar or lemon juice

dairy-free chocolate chips

walnuts (optional)

Prep: Preheat the oven to 425F and generously grease a 12-muffin pan with vegan butter or oil. Combine the ground flax and water in a small bowl and mix well; let sit for at least 5 minutes, to thicken.

Dry Ingredients: Add the flour to a large mixing bowl, then add in the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until combined, then form a well in the center of the bowl.

Wet Ingredients: Break the bananas into pieces and place in a smaller bowl. Mash the bananas well with a fork, mixing the mixture until it is mostly smooth and glossy.  Add the brown sugar, flax egg, milk, melted butter or oil, vanilla, and vinegar to the center of the bowl. Mix well, until a thick batter forms. Fold in the chocolate and walnuts, if using.

Divide the Batter: Use a large scoop or spoon to evenly divide the batter among the muffin tins, filling each tin level to the top. I like to sprinkle each muffin with a few extra chocolate chips, but that’s totally optional!

Bake: Bake in the middle rack of the oven for 7 minutes, then, without opening the oven, reduce the oven temperature for 350F. Bake for an additional 15 to 18 minutes, until the tops of the muffins are slightly golden.

Let Cool: Remove from the oven and set the muffin tin on a cooling rack; let the muffins rest for 5 minutes before using a knife to remove them from the muffin tin. Enjoy warm, or let cool completely on the wire rack before storing.

Storage: Muffins will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze these banana muffins for up to two months, and defrost/reheat as necessary in a toaster oven. I do not recommend storing your muffins in the fridge as it makes their texture chewy.

Jumbo Banana Muffins with a nut topping are the vegan breakfast of your dreams! This bakery style recipe makes 6 fluffy and moist muffins.

Jumbo Banana Muffins (Bakery Style Vegan Recipe)

banana (about 3 medium bananas)

soy milk (or other plant milk

canola oil (or other neutral oil)

tbsp vanilla extract

apple cider vinegar

sugar

tbsp baking powder

all purpose flour flour

walnuts

chopped walnuts (finely chopped with a few small chunks; omit if nut-free)

Preheat oven to 400° F. Lightly grease muffin tin with oil or butter, making sure to oil the top part around the rim. You can also use jumbo muffin liners, still making sure to grease them.

Mash bananas with a fork in a large mixing bowl, making sure it measures out to 1 1/4 cup.

Add the rest of the wet ingredients: soy milk, canola oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Mix until combined.

Add granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix until combined.

Add all-purpose flour, making sure not to over-mix. Some lumps will still remain, and that is okay!

Coarsely chop up 3/4 cup of walnuts. Add to the batter until just combined.

To make the topping, chop 1/3 cup of walnuts into a slightly finer texture with some small chunks remaining. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the nuts.

Scoop batter into greased muffin tin with 1/2 cup scooper. The batter should almost completely fill the tin.

Sprinkle the topping over each muffin, generously coating the entire surface area.

Bake muffins for 22-26 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when they are golden on top and you can smell the perfectly roasted walnut topping!

Let cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then remove the muffins and place them on a cooling rack.

Excellent recipe, I subbed the 1 cup of granulated for maple syrup since i didn't have any, and they came out delicious.

Made these with my new pan and loved them. I’m nut-free so I used chocolate chips instead. Can’t wait to make them again.
