Muffins have a special place in the heart of breakfast lovers, serving as the perfect grab-and-go option for busy mornings. As someone who cherishes baked goods in the morning, I was inspired to create a vegan muffin recipe. These Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins are perfectly fluffy and delicious! They are also refined sugar-free and can be made gluten-free if desired!
Superrrrr Ripe Bananas
The secret to the natural sweetness of these muffins lies in the use of super ripe bananas. The riper the banana, the sweeter it is, allowing this recipe to shine without the need for refined sugars. Instead, a touch of maple syrup is all that's needed to enhance the flavors, ensuring these muffins are a treat you can feel good about indulging in.
Gluten-Free Adjustment
These vegan muffins use a blend of oats and whole wheat flour as the base. You can substitute oat flour for whole wheat flour to make them gluten-free. The reason I love oats is because they are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and known for their heart-healthy benefits. They provide a wonderful texture to the muffins, making them satisfying and nourishing.
Chocolate Chips- a MUST!
And of course, what's a banana muffin without chocolate chips? The addition of chocolate chips brings a delightful contrast to the muffins. They ensure each bite is a perfect balance of sweet banana flavor and rich chocolate. It's a classic combination that never fails to please!
