Ingredients
Scale
- 1 teaspoon flaxseed meal
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup unsalted vegan butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flaxseed meal and water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to form a gel. This is your flax egg.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened vegan butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the mashed bananas, flax egg, applesauce, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the non-dairy milk. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
- For extra flavor, you can add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or vegan chocolate chips to the batter.
- Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
