5 INGREDIENTS FOR BANANA BREAD MUFFINS
- Bananas: Be sure your bananas are ripe and spotty. Under ripe bananas don't cut it in this recipe
- Coconut Sugar: You can use regular sugar or brown sugar if you don't have coconut sugar
- Oat Flour: Oat flour is naturally gluten free, and adds a warm, nutty note to this healthy, vegan banana bread (or this DELICIOUS lemon blackberry cake)
- Baking Soda: Baking soda is necessary for rising the banana bread muffins so they're not too dense, and also browns the outside so they have a nice color
- Avocado Oil: You need fat to create a soft, fluffy texture in the muffins. You can use melted coconut oil in place of avocado oil if you don't have any
HOW TO MAKE BANANA BREAD MUFFINS WITH 5 INGREDIENTS
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray
- In a large bowl mash the ripe bananas
- Add the coconut sugar, oat flour, baking soda, and avocado oil to the large bowl of mashed banana and mix with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until everything is well combined
- Use a cookie scoop to portion out the 5 ingredient banana bread batter into your prepared muffin tin. Fill each cup about ¾ of the way full
- Bake the vegan banana bread muffins for 13-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean
- Remove the muffins from the oven and allow to cool
EXPERT TIPS
- You can replace the coconut sugar with regular sugar or brown sugar
- Make sure your baking soda isn't expired
- You can sift the oat flour if you want. The muffins will be a little fluffier, but I generally skip doing this and they still turn out GREAT
- These 5 ingredient banana bread muffins would be wonderful with mini chocolate chips or a little vanilla added
- Store them in an air-tight container at room temperature for 3-4 days. Or freeze for up to 2 months
