We love to have these amazing muffins for breakfast, dessert and for snacking throughout the day. Kids absolutely love them.

You have a healthy sweet treat everyone will adore and will be asking for repeatedly!
They smell so good baking in the oven and even better going into your mouth! You’ll probably want to eat the whole batch immediately!
These muffins are the perfect pantry staple. Perfect for vegan lovers and non-vegan lovers as well.

Don’t you agree? Bananas and chocolate are like a perfect match made in heaven and it’s pretty obvious why they go so well together!

Hard to believe, but these babies are vegan by substituting applesauce instead of eggs and we absolutely love that!

We always buy the 6 packs of applesauce you can buy that are already measured out in 1/2 cup increments and so convenient and can easily be found in your local grocery stores. You don’t have to refrigerate and you can use them as you need them.

Ingredients You Need

4 ripe bananas medium or 1 & 1/3 cups of mashed banana
1/3 cup melted vegan butter cooled
2/3 cup sugar or sugar of choice We like Zulka or any organic sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
A pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour or Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free flour
1 cup dairy-free semi sweet chocolate chips

How to Make Easy Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Preheat oven to 350.
Grease your muffin tins.
Peel bananas and throw them in a big bowl with the melted butter and smash it all together with a fork.
Keep blending until the mixture is creamy and smooth, not chunky.
Add sugar, vanilla, and applesauce; mix just until combined.
Stir in salt and baking soda.
Add flour and chocolate chips and mix until just combined. Do not overmix!
Divide into muffin tins.
Bake until cake tester or toothpick pulls out cleanly for about 18-20 minutes.

Baking Tips

Our preference was not to use liners, because the muffins are so moist they tend to just stick and be messy, unless you lightly spray with them with non-stick cooking spray right before baking. Just use a good non-stick cooking spray no matter what you do!

Storing and Freezing Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

To store muffins for up to 4 days, put them in an airtight container or zip-lock bag. Line the container with a layer of paper towel and place the muffins in single layer. Add another layer of paper towel on top. You can store them without paper towel, but they may get soggy.

You can freeze muffins for a delicious snack later! Use a zip-lock bag and put one muffin in each layer of the bag. Wrap the muffins in foil before putting them in the bag and squeeze out as much air as possible. Put the sealed bag inside another bag and seal that one too to reduce the chance of freezer burn.

Even microwave for 10 – 15 seconds to get that oven baked fresh taste. These are so heavenly and the whole family will be amazed!!

In conclusion, vegan baking can be simple and delicious. We have seen how easy it is to make this vegan banana chocolate chip muffin recipe using simple ingredients that are most likely already in your pantry.

With this recipe, you can enjoy a sweet breakfast or snack that is free from animal products. Make sure to experiment and have fun in the kitchen, and don’t be afraid to get creative with your ingredients. Remember: baking vegan can be exciting, tasty, and above all, easy.
