Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3 ripe mashed bananas
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil (or other vegetable oil)
  • 1/2 cup non-dairy milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (or agave nectar)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
  4. Add the melted coconut oil, non-dairy milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and the prepared flax egg to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. If using, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or vegan chocolate chips.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • You can substitute other vegetable oils like canola or melted vegan butter for coconut oil.
  • For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
