🍲 Ingredients

Bananas – The best bananas for baking are super ripe ones, like the more brown spots the better. You can also use ones that have gone brown that you’ve frozen, just thaw them out and mash them up. They’ll look bad, but they aren’t! I made this banana muffin recipe with my friends at Chiquita because I love their bananas, and I don’t just love them, they’re the world’s most loved. For more than 100 years they’ve been producing the best bananas and delivering them around the world. Bananas are one of the best fruit sources for vitamin B6, provide 10% of your daily vitamin C needs, are loaded with potassium, can help aid digestion, and give you energy.

Flours – I use both all-purpose flour and almond flour. They both bring different textures to this recipe, and the almond flour brings great health benefits like monounsaturated fat, which can help keep cholesterol under control.

Eggs – Egg replacement is my go-to for baking as a vegan. However, you can also make a flax egg or if you aren’t vegan, you can use a regular egg. 

👩‍🍳 How to Make Vegan Banana Bread Muffins

🪄 Tips & Tricks

• Bananas: I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again, use super ripe bananas. They will look like they’ve gone bad but this is the perfect way to use them up versus throwing them out.
• Egg replacement: If you aren’t vegan, you can use egg. If you are, you can make a flax egg, or 1/4 cup apple sauce (per egg).
• Don’t Overmix: Stir just until ingredients are combined to avoid tough muffins.

🗒 Substitutions

• Oil Options: Can I swap out coconut oil? Yes, you can use vegan or regular butter instead of coconut oil.
• Egg Replacement: Egg replacement is my go-to for baking as a vegan. However, you can also make a flax egg, or if you aren’t vegan, you can use a regular egg. If you are vegan, you can make a flax egg, or 1/4 cup of apple sauce (per egg).
• Flour Alternatives: Use all almond flour for a grain-free version, or substitute with a gluten-free flour blend for celiac-friendly muffins.
• Sweetener Swaps: Maple syrup or coconut sugar can replace brown sugar, though the texture may vary slightly.
