Servings: 12 muffins
Calories: 225kcal
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 3 tablespoons water
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup vegan butter softened
- 1¾ cup mashed bananas about 4 bananas
- 1½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ cup chopped walnuts
- optional: ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and prepare a muffin tin by adding liners.
- Mix together the flaxseed and water. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. I use a hand mixer but a stand mixer also works.
- Mix in the mashed bananas, vanilla extract, and flax egg.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and baking soda (and cinnamon if applicable.)
- Fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until incorporated. Fold in the nuts.
- Scoop into the muffin liners (I add enough of the batter to fill each liner about 3/4 of the way.) Top with more nuts if desired.
- Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- After removing from the oven, let the muffins cool for about 15 minutes. Then finish cooling on a wire rack completely before removing the muffin liners.
Notes
- You can use chocolate chips instead of walnuts, or go half and half!
- To make banana bread, see this recipe.
- Make sure to use baking soda - not baking powder.
