Ingredients You’ll Need
Vegan Banana Bread Muffins and Donuts Batter Recipe
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 tbsp ground flax plus 5 tbsp water (to make flax eggs)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil, or melted coconut oil, canola oil, avocado oil can be used
- 1 cup organic brown sugar packed
- 1 tbsp organic sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 & 1/2 cups flour all purpose
- 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions How to Make Vegan Banana Bread Muffins and Vegan Banana Bread Donuts
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Spray donut pan / muffin pan with cooking spray (or use muffin liners in muffin pan)
- Make flax eggs by stirring 2 tbsp ground flax into 5 tbsp water. Let it sit for at least 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl beat the wet ingredients of mashed bananas, 1 tbsp vegetable oil, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, and flax eggs.
- In a separate medium bowl whisk together these dry ingredients: 1 & 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cups wheat flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1 tsp cinnamon.
- Add the dry ingredients to the large bowl, and stir with a wooden spoon until combined well. Try not to over-mix too much. The batter should be pretty thick, which is what you want! Feel free to add in any mix-ins like walnuts, pecans, chocolate chips and so on in your vegan flax banana bread donuts or muffins!
Making Donuts or Muffins or Both?
- We made donuts first, and then with the remaining batter we made muffins. The batter was enough for us to make 6 donuts and 8 muffins.
- If making donuts, then spoon the batter into the donut pan, about 2/3 full. Keep in mind the donuts will likely double in size.
- Cook the donuts for 9 minutes at 425 degrees. After they finish, let them cool in their donut pan for 5 minutes, then dump them into a cooling rack to cool more.
- If making muffins spoon the batter into the muffin pan, about 2/3 of the way full. Top them with a few non-dairy chocolate chips if you like!
- Cook the muffins at 425 degrees for 11 minutes. Let them cool in their pan for a couple of minutes before taking them out to cool more on a cooling wire rack.
Other Variations
- We used a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour, but you can also make these with just all-purpose flour if you don’t want to have the combination of flours. Either way, these vegan banana muffins and donuts still be healthy!
Storing
Put your baked muffins or donuts in a ziplock bag or air-tight container with paper towels up to 4 days in the fridge or at room temperature.
In conclusion, vegan banana bread muffins and donuts are not only a delicious treat when you’re looking for a healthier option, but they are also so bursting with banana flavor! Give this easy flax banana bread donuts and muffin recipe a try! The whole family will love them!
