Ingredients You Need

Easy Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe

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 for a gluten-free option
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!!

More Variations for Easy Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Besides chocolate chips for a delicious add-in, there are other add-ins like walnuts, pecans or pistachios for a nice nutty, texture.
Add a handful of oats or shredded coconut for some fiber and texture as well!
Add a couple tablespoons of peanut butter, chia seeds or flax seeds for some protein power! We love this!
