These vegan banana oat muffins are so tasty and easy to make! I don’t bake often (I’ve had some spectacular fails), but when I do I need a surefire no-fail recipe, and this is it! These muffins check ALL the boxes 1. They are easy to make (30 minutes) 2. They are vegan and oil-free! 3. They are addictingly delicious!
These 30 minute muffins are so flavorful!
To make vegan banana oat muffins:
Mash the brown bananas with a fork until they break down into small pieces. Add the wet ingredients: applesauce, maple syrup/agave vanilla and the brown sugar to a large mixing bowl. Mix well until combined. Next add the dry ingredients: flour, rolled oats, cinnamon, chocolate chips and walnuts to the mixing bowl. Stir until just combined. Line a muffin tray with baking cups (or use non-stick spray) and bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes. Let the muffins cool for 10-15 minutes before enjoying!
To keep this recipe oil-free make sure to use baking cups.
Tips & Tricks
In order to achieve the best banana flavor, use those super brown almost rotten bananas. They may not be favorable for snacking but they are the KEY to maximum flavor. When my bananas start going turning brown, I throw them in the freezer. When you have 3 bananas it’s time to get baking! This recipe calls for vegan chocolate chips, but you can also use regular chocolate chips if you’re not vegan. I love the additional crunch from the walnuts, but these muffins can be made nut-free if desired. Fill up each baking cup to the rim if possible. They will rise but not a whole lot. Additionally, try to fill each depression evenly so the muffins will be approximately the same size.
The perfect bite!
