Vegan Banana Nut Muffins
Valentina P
You know those very faintly banana-flavored banana muffins? These are not like those. Every bite of these moist and fluffy muffins is full of banana flavor and a hint of nuttiness from the almond butter tucked in the batter. They're also gluten-free and quite easy. Win-win.
How To MakeDiet Type: Plant-based
Shopping List
- 4 very ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 1 cup all purpose flour (we use gluten-free)
- 1/2 cup arrowroot or tapioca starch
- 1/4 cup cane sugar or coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons smooth peanut or almond butter
- 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 tablespoon flax meal
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with liners, or use a silicon muffin tin.
- Step 2: In a small bowl, stir the flax meal with the cold water. Place in the refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes to firm up. It will be ready when it has a sticky gel-like texture.
- Step 3: Mix all ingredients, except the optional nuts, in a bowl. Stir just until no lumps remain and the nut butter has incorporated into the batter. Fold in half of the optional nuts. Pour the batter into the muffin tin, leaving some extra room for them to rise. Sprinkle any optional remaining nuts on top.
- Step 4: Bake at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes, or until firm to the touch. Allow to cool fully before handling.
- Serve: Enjoy as a part of a quick breakfast or snack. These freeze very well.
