How to Make Vegan Banana Nut Muffins
To make these vegan banana nut muffins, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your muffin tin with paper liners. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. In another bowl, mash the bananas until smooth, then add the yogurt, maple syrup, melted vegan butter, vanilla extract, and chopped walnuts. Mix well until everything is combined. Now, gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix! Stir in the almond milk until the batter reaches a thick, pourable consistency. Finally, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- For extra crunch, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with additional chopped walnuts or rolled oats before baking.
- You can substitute the vegan yogurt with unsweetened applesauce for a slightly different flavor and texture.
- These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
