With a few basic ingredients these muffins come together in less than 10 minutes. You can use different types of flour, replace butter with olive oil and leave out the chocolate chips.

To mash the bananas all you need is that they are very ripe, and a fork. You will get a puree-like consistency, and don’t worry if there are some clumps. You will just find some banana chunks in the muffins.

In a bowl you mix together the wet ingredients; banana puree, melted vegan butter, flax egg, vanilla extract.

Don’t forget to shift the flour, so that the muffins are fluffier and higher.

In another bowl combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and sugar.

I like using coconut sugar as it is unrefined and gives a rich texture and caramel flavor to the muffins, but you can also use brown sugar instead.

So now you have the bowl of dry ingredients and the bowl of wet ones.

Add one mixture to the other and combine. Do NOT overmix, just combine gently.

Here is where you decide what do you want to add in. Personally I love the combination of dark chocolate and banana, but you can also leave it out, or if you want add some nuts.

Fill in about 3/4 of your muffin molds and remember to grease them first if you are not using muffin cups, as they will stick to the bottom otherwise.

These easy banana muffins are really simple to do, you will have them ready to pop in the oven in under 15 min, and all I have used is 2 bowls and 1 fork. They are versatile, and perfect for grab and go snack or breakfast. They are moist, tender, fluffy and more filling that they look like!

Bananas are healthy and nutritious; they contain different minerals and vitamins, they moderate sugar blood levels, improve digestion health, may aid weight loss, and they contain powerful antioxidants. These easy banana muffins are perfect pre and/or post-workout and will keep you full and energized the whole morning, due to their mineral content and easily digested carbs.

Ingredients

  • 5 Tbsp (70 grams) unsalted vegan butter, melted and cooled slightly

  • 1 1/2 cups (200 grams) flour. I am using semi whole wheat flour

  • 1/2 cup (50 grams) coconut sugar (you can use brown sugar instead)

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

  • 4 ripe bananas

  • 1 flax egg (3 Tbsp water, 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 100 gr dark chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

  • Mix one tablespoon ground flaxseed with three tablespoons of water and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 Celsius) and line muffin cups with paper liners.
  • Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another bowl, mash the 4 bananas and then add in the melted vegan butter flax egg, and vanilla and whisk until blended.
  • Add the wet mixture to the bowl with dry ingredients and combine gently.
  • Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Fill muffin cups 3/4 full and add some chocolate chips to the top.
  • Bake for around 20 minutes, until the top becomes sightly golden.
  • Let cool undisturbed for at least 10 min.

Notes

  • By the way …
    You can substitute the vegan butter for coconut or olive oil. These muffins will last 4 to 5 days in an airtight container (better in the fridge) and you can also freeze them and enjoy them later. You can use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.

Let’s go!
