Vegan Chocolate Banana Muffins
Description
These muffins blend mashed ripe bananas with white whole wheat flour and cocoa powder to create a chocolate-banana flavor. Vegan baking powder and baking soda provide lift, while the combination of almond milk and coconut oil adds moisture and richness without dairy. Sugar sweetens the batter evenly.
Half of the vegan mini chocolate chips get folded in, and the rest are sprinkled on top before baking at 350°F for about 18-20 minutes. The result is a batch of tender muffins with chocolate chips distributed throughout and a soft crumb texture. A toothpick test confirms doneness.
They can be cooled and served as a snack or breakfast option. Freezing is possible, with reheating in the microwave for 20-30 seconds recommended to regain warmth and softness.
To maintain vegan status, ensure all chocolate chips used are vegan-certified. Those needing gluten-free versions may substitute flour accordingly.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup Dutch processed cocoa
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 banana mashed (1 1/2 cups, ripe
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted and cooled
- 1/4 cup almond milk unsweetened vanilla
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup vegan mini chocolate chips divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line muffin tin with paper liners or spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together mashed bananas, coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extra. Add the banana mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Stir in 1/2 cup of the mini chocolate chips.
- Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle remaining mini chocolate chips over the tops of each muffin. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use vegan-certified chocolate chips to keep the muffins fully vegan.
- For gluten-free muffins, substitute the flour with an all-purpose gluten-free blend.
- The muffins freeze well; reheat frozen muffins in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before serving.
