Banana is one of my favorite food. Muffin made by banana always makes me smile. It’s a great choice of snacks, breakfast, or even comfort food. Here I’m sharing a super easy vegan version.
This recipe uses mashed bananas and coconut oil to create the smooth texture. No egg, no butter, no milk, no other dairy ingredients.
In particular, adding sugar is also optional. Not necessary to have any intake of added sugar, just enjoy the natural sweetness and flavor of banana itself. It’s really a light and healthy recipe.
This recipe makes 6 standard size muffins, I like to make a small batch to enjoy it freshly, sometimes I multiply the recipe to make a larger batch to store in advance.
For vegan version, make sure your choice of chocolate chips have no milk (or milk + sugar) contained.
