I’m a lover of all banana recipes – from pancakes, to bread, to these cute little vegan muffins – you can’t go wrong! And these healthy chocolate studded muffins have it all – balanced sweet taste, moist texture, and wholesome ingredients.

And the best part? You would never they are vegan or “healthy”. It’s a win-win situation for everyone. 😉

Ingredients You’ll Need

Before getting started, I recommend setting all of your baking ingredients out on the counter and checking them off to ensure you have everything needed! Here’s the full ingredient list:

  • Oat flour
  • Ripe bananas
  • Dairy-free milk
  • Vegan butter
  • Coconut sugar
  • Maple Syrup
  • Dark chocolate chips
  • Cinnamon
  • Vanilla extract
  • Baking soda
  • Baking Powder

How to Make Vegan Banana Muffins

  • First, mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Then stir in wet ingredients with chocolate chips.
  • Use a large spoon or ice cream scoop and fill a greased muffin tin 3/4 of the way – top with chocolate chips. Bake for 30 minutes at 350F for perfection.

Tips for Storing & Freezing Banana Muffins

Keeping baked goods fresh is always key! Whether you are consuming them over several days or freezing them to enjoy for another time.

Keep muffins fresh: for a greater level of freshness I recommend refrigerating leftover muffins for up to 5-7 days – then reheat in the microwave.

Freezing muffins: Make sure muffins have completely cooled before storing in freezer-friendly ziplock bags and freeze for 1-2 months. Defrost at room temperature and reheat in microwave when ready to serve.

Helpful Baking Tips

  • I use oat flour because it’s rich in nutrients & antioxidants and responds well in baking recipes. Use gluten-free oat flour if needed or replace with regular all-purpose flour.
  • Either use a greased muffin pan or paper muffin cups.
  • I used almond milk in this recipe but you can replace with coconut milk or any other nut-milk/dairy-free milk.
  • Serve with a spread of peanut butter for extra flavor.

More Delicious Banana Bread Recipes

We enjoy these muffins as a quick on-the-go breakfast or as a healthier dessert with coffee. They are packed with nutrients & antioxidants and you will never be able to tell they are dairy-free and egg free!
