Vegan Banana Blueberry Muffins
These vegan muffins combine mashed ripe bananas with whole-wheat flour and fresh or frozen blueberries for moist, tender baked goods. Light brown sugar and coconut oil provide sweetness and moisture, while almond milk and vanilla extract add flavor and softness. A sprinkling of turbinado sugar on top offers a slight crunch. These muffins freeze well and can be warmed before serving.
