The Best Banana Muffins Ever

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    2 tablespoons unsalted vegan soy butter
    2 heaping tablespoons sugar
    1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
    2 very large ripe bananas
    1/2 cup all purpose flour
    1/2 cup dry oats
    1 heaping teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    pinch of salt
    walnuts or carob chips, optional

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Put the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract in a pan on a low heat to melt, then remove and set aside for a few minutes.

Mash the bananas and, in another bowl, measure out the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Dont over mix: just stir a couple of times; you will have a not terribly attractive lumpy sludge, but don't worry about it.

Fill the muffin trays about two-thirds full of mixture. Put in the oven and cook about 25 minutes. Leave in pan for 5 minutes, then remove to wire rack for another 5-10 minutes or unitl cool.

Enjoy the recipe!! It is really great!!

Serves: 24 mini size or 10 full size

Preparation time: 15 minutes


I made this last week and they were quite easy to make.  I liked them a lot -- they are very chewy from the oats, not cakey like banana bread or typical banana muffins. I thought they had a biting acidic aftertaste, but it could have been I used too much baking soda.

These muffins are so good. I think I'm addicted, I can't stop eating them. I didn't have any vegan butter so I just used vegetable oil instead. I will use this recipe again.

I tried these once, and now they're a weekend ritual. The last time I made them I was out of sugar, so I used brown sugar... and I think it made them even better. And for a bit of a different flavor, try chopped peanuts.

This is a great recipe. The oats adds a little crunch to it and is a twist to the traditional banana bread muffin. Next time I will use less sugar or even none as it tastes very sweet. I think just the banana adds enough sweetness. Thanks for this recipe.

I made these for breakfast and added chopped pecans and used 1 tbsp of brown sugar instead of vanilla (we ran out of vanilla) and they were so yummy!! My mom who is not vegan absolutely loved them. I calculated it out, 1 muffin = 82 calories, the batch made 12...wow yummy and healthy!!

This is a great recipe, though the directions could be clearer.  (Doesn't say when to add the oats or the butter mixture - but no worries, it's not hard to figure out.   Wink)
I halved the sugar and they tasted just fine (thanks shabbyChicVeg for the suggestion.)  I doubled the recipe and made a dozen larger muffins and it worked out perfectly.  My 10-month old son loved them!

they were a bit dry and thick, so i added some soymilk to the mix. It turned out with a great, soft consistency, esoecially with the chewy oats.

They were ok.  The texture was fabulous--very moist and springy.  They also rose perfectly, which is rare for the vegan muffins I make.  However, the taste felt like it was missing something....

I made a variation to try and combat this, filling each muffin with a dollup of gingerbread pudding before baking. That seemed to help things out tremendously  Maybe adding a bit of ginger or molasses to the batter would work?

Thanks for the recipe!

PS:  Now that I think about it, maybe walnuts is what I thought it is missing--like banana nut bread.  And don't let this review scare you away from making these muffins, they're still very tasty!!!

I only ended up with 6 small-medium muffins. I baked them for 26 minutes, took them out of the oven and let them rest in the muffin tray for 20min before taking them out. I ended up with perfectly moist muffins!

Do not hesitiate to whip up a bunch of these bad boys because they are delicious and relatively healthy. Next time, I will try using 1/4 cup of whole wheat flour and 1/4 of all-purpose flour.

I made 12 mini muffins and 2 regular haha.

I just put the butter, sugar, and vanilla in the microwave, so I wouldn't have to get out a pan and it worked fine. Cheesy

i used oil instead of margarine and brown sugar, but stuck to the recipe, otherwise, and they came out rad.  i made them at work because we had a couple going overly ripe bananas lying around, and my clients were way into them.  super easy and not junky at all, really.  that's saying a lot, baking wise.

im so glad i came across this recipe because i was just informed of the fact that my bananas were ripening Sad so it was the perfect time to put them to use!

i skimped on the cinnamon and used a little less baking powder and little more vanilla. i used smart balance's vegan margarine spread.. i was happy to finally put it to use.

these came out wonderfully! though, i negleted to change the baking option to baking, so they toasted themselves for maybe 15 minutes, but they still came out moist and sweet! i will make these again, definitely, for company.

These muffins came out great. I used 1/4c whole wheat and 1/4c all-purpose flour and also added about 2 T of ground flax seeds just to make them a little healthier, plus about 1/2c pecan and they came out nice and moist. Delicious!

I also only ended up with 6 sm-med sized muffins instead of the 10 stated in the recipe. After about 15 min I noticed the tops starting to brown a bit too much but they weren't cooked through just yet so I turned the temp down to 350 for the last 10 min and they came out great.

OMG THESE ARE SO GOOD!!!

Ok everytime i tried banana muffins they came out too dense or moist but these were perrfect. I added some unsweetened coconut because i like that and i used canola oil instad of the margarine. and also i added about a tablespoon of ground flaxeed.

Oh and i halved the recipe. It obtained about 4 medium muffins

FIVE STARS!!

Hearty and delicious! Super easy recipe and I like the big chunks of banana I got from not over mixing.

I added chocolate chips Grin and I definitely recommend it! Recipe made 10 medium size muffins which are perfect for a midday snack! I will make again for sure

I was looking for a vegan banana muffin recipe because I got tired of throwing out my overly ripe bananas.  I became vegan about four months ago so I couldn't use my regular recipe.  I ran across this one on yesterday.  I tried them and they came out great. I replaced the sugar and flour with raw brown sugar and unbleached all purpose flour. I also used walnuts because they are more nutritional.  My muffins came out great...they were not too sweet and they were moist.  I will definitely make them again and again.  I'm looking for more vegan recipes and you can help please send them my way.    Thanks for the recipe.
