Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups mashed banana | 2 large or 3 small bananas
  • 1 cup non-dairy milk
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips plus more for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a standard muffin pan with liners and spray them lightly with oil. 
  • Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl. Measure to make sure you have about 1 1/4 cups mashed banana. 
  • Add the non-dairy milk, oil, sugar, vinegar and vanilla to the bowl and whisk with the bananas until well combined. 
  • To the wet mixture, add the flour, then sprinkle the baking powder and salt on top of the flour. Stir to mix with a large spoon until just combined; be careful not to over mix. Some small lumps are fine.
  • Fold in chopped walnuts or chocolate chips, if using. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, add batter to the liners in the pan almost all the way full. Sprinkle more walnuts/chocolate chips on top if desired.
  • Bake for 20-24 minutes, until golden on top and a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a cooling rack. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. Any non-dairy milk will work here. I used unsweetened soy milk.
  2. May sub more mashed banana for the oil, or use applesauce instead.
  3. May sub white whole wheat, whole wheat pastry or a gluten free flour mix for the white flour.
  4. Banana Muffins freeze well. I like to place them in a freezer bag, then I can pull one out whenever I want.
