Vegan Muffin Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¾ cup coconut sugar or other granulated sweetener
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or other plant-based milk
- ⅓ cup melted coconut oil or other vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 large bananas)
- ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans) or dairy-free chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- In another bowl, combine the coconut sugar, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well incorporated.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Gently fold in the mashed bananas and chopped nuts or chocolate chips if using.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached.
- Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
