Ingredient notes
- Ripe bananas – Make sure they’re extra spotty or brown. When bananas ripen, they get more sweet and make for a more delicious and moist muffin.
- Organic granulated sugar – organic sugar is always vegan and hasn’t been processed with bone char.
- Vegan butter – I love the taste of using a dairy free butter in this recipe. I melt it slightly to make sure it doesn’t get too hot. You can also use a neutral tasting oil instead.
- Vanilla
- Baking powder and baking soda
- Apple cider vinegar – This helps to give the muffins more lift and fluffiness when combined with the baking soda.
- Whole wheat flour – I love using this instead of all purpose flour to make it a little healthier.
- Salt – Just a little pinch of salt helps bring out all of the flavors even more.
- Dairy free chocolate chips – a lot of brands are accidentally vegan.
Helpful tips
- When measuring the flour, spoon the flour instead of scooping. Spoon the flour into the measuring cups, then level it out with the back of a knife. This ensures you don’t use too much flour and prevents the muffins from becoming too dense.
- Don’t over mix the batter once it’s all mixed together. It will become too dense. Mix just enough that everything is blended together.
- Bake these muffins on the middle rack, to ensure the muffins are evenly cooked throughout.
Storing tips
Counter top – Put the muffins in an air tight container and they will last on the counter or in a pantry for about 5 days.
Fridge – These will last over a week in a sealed container in the fridge.
Freezer – You can freeze these muffins by putting them in a freezer safe bag. They will last about 3 months or more. Thaw them out completely before eating.
FAQ’s
Can I use oil instead of butter?
Absolutely. Just use a neutral tasting oil like vegetable oil. Refined and melted coconut oil would also taste good. Refined coconut oil won’t leave a coconut flavor.
Can I make these gluten free?
I haven’t recipe tested these with gluten free flour, but I imagine you should be able to easily make these gluten free by using a gluten free all purpose flour. Let me know how they turn out in the comments below if you try them this way.
