The Best Banana Muffins EverIngredients (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!!
