Banana Bread Chocolate Chip Muffins

SKIP TO RECIPE >


Hiya everyone! I hope you’re having a very special weekend. I thought I’d share with you a little #bakinginspo with these vegan Banana Bread Chocolate Chip Muffins. They are cozy and comforting!

This post has been a long time coming as I’ve been looking for ages to make a reliable vegan banana bread recipe for muffins and loafs. Banana bread muffins are a family staple, and one we all need a good go-to recipe for. But vegan banana breads can be a bit tricky – and often I find the recipes come out too heavy or wet. Of course, they are supposed to be more dense than a traditional muffin, we have the banana to thank for that. But I like my baked goods to have a bit of spring when you give them a little “love squeeze.”

Chocolate Chip Muffins

And I’m not going to lie – it took me a while to master these Banana Bread Chocolate Chip Muffins, and to have them flawless enough to share on the blog. In my first attempt I added too much liquid and as predicted they were too heavy and dense. But a few mods have resulted in this gorgeous muffin mix that’s moist, and the perfect combo of wholesome and light.

To make the recipe I have used a half-and-half flour blend, using oat flour and regular white flour. I just love the comforting taste that oats bring to baked goods! However using all oats can lead to a too-dense batter, and so the white flour really helps to fluff it up a bit.

Banana Bread Muffins

For the liquids I’ve used coconut yogurt, chia egg (you can also use flax) and mashed banana. And for the sweetener I’ve used coconut sugar. I’ve mixed the dry and wet ingredients together and finished by folding in some semi-sweet chocolate chips. (Because what’s a banana bread muffin without chocolate!?).

Baked Chocolate Chip Muffins

The end result is a moist, spongy and sweet banana bread chocolate chip muffin that will melt your soul. Served with a cup of tea or coffee and it’s truly a vegan bakers dream. We did it folks!

I can’t think of a better way to spend a Sunday than sitting down to these freshly baked muffins. I do hope that you give these gorgeous vegan Banana Bread Chocolate Chip Muffins a try. And, if you do make this recipe please let me know in the comments below what you think! I love hearing from you. And of course, tag me on Instagram with the hashtag #twospoons. Nothing makes me happier than to see your recreations.

    Made the Banana Bread and Chocolate Chip Muffins as a loaf yesterday. Seems to be a hit at the office … thank you! However, I notice in the ingredients list you say 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder and in the instructions you say to “Add baking soda …” I went with baking soda which seemed to be right but you may want to just make the change on the recipe. Also, I was guessing at the amount of time in the oven for a loaf versus the muffins. I baked it for about 55 minutes … my oven is hot so it was at 325 degrees but it was starting to get almost to the burnt-around-the-edges stage. I do love it though and would definitely make it again. One of the folks in the office just asked for the recipe so I am printing it off and adjusting the baking powder/baking soda part. Love your blog.

    Marion! Thanks so much for reaching out about this recipe. I’m really glad that you and your colleagues enjoyed the banana bread, and that you passed on the recipe. 🙂

    Thanks as well for the note about the baking powder vs. soda – sorry that I hadn’t caught that. I have revised the recipe as it should be – to add baking soda to the mix. 🙂

    I’m thrilled that you enjoyed the muffins as a loaf too! It’s true that they take much more time to bake! (Why I opt-in for making muffins over loaves if I’m being honest). If you are having trouble with burning you can always cover the top of the loaf with tin foil closer to the end to stop from burning. 🙂 Thanks again for the very sweet note, I’m really glad you enjoyed this recipe and my blog. Lots of love! Hannah xx
