Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 0.75 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.75 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with a bit of coconut oil.
In a small bowl, mix the almond milk and apple cider vinegar and set aside for a few minutes to let it curdle and create vegan buttermilk.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the vegan buttermilk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix to keep the muffins tender.
Fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
Evenly divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your vegan banana nut muffins warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
