Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
  3. Stir in the melted coconut oil, non-dairy milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and flax egg until well combined.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and 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 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 almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk for the non-dairy milk.
  • For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
