When was the last time you enjoyed a homemade banana treat? Perhaps you just made my gluten free banana oat muffins yesterday. Or, you had fresh-baked slices of super moist vegan oatmeal chocolate chip banana bread last week.
Or or, you haven’t had a truly good homemade vegan banana treat in ages. Well, today, you’re gonna forget all past banana treats and hone in on one. Because: it’s that good.
Remember when you were a little kid and the choices you had for muffins were chocolate, blueberry, banana and poppy seed? Which one did you pick first? Which one did you pick last?
For me, the order went as follows: 1. Chocolate, 2. Banana, 3. Poppy Seed, 4. Blueberry. There was just something special, comforting and truly satisfying about banana muffins. With or without nuts. 😉

Recommended Tools for the Best Vegan Banana Muffins Recipe
Wondering what tools I used to make the best vegan banana muffins recipe ever? Click below to explore the exact ones. 😉
- Muffin Batter Scoop: technically an ice cream scoop (I won’t tell anyone if you don’t), this large scoop scoops the perfect amount of batter for your vegan banana muffins. It makes batter distribution so much easier and less messy! Try a rounded scoop for bigger muffins. 😉
- Nonstick Muffin Liners: I love how easy it is to peel these liners off of my banana muffins after baking, so you don’t get a bunch of crumbs falling everywhere. Erik says it allows you to eat them quicker, too, which is definitely a bonus. 😉
- Dough Blender: this is an amazing tool to use for mashing bananas. It’s strong and sturdy, and allows you to create the perfect consistency without a ton of effort. So much easier than mashing bananas with a fork or a whisk!
- Where to Buy Ingredients: Almond Meal | Coconut Oil | Pure Maple Syrup | Coconut Sugar | Ground Golden Flaxseed | Pure Vanilla Extract | Walnuts

Description
Vegan Banana Muffins Recipe: soft ‘n moist vegan banana bread muffins with a satisfying texture and big banana flavor! Vegan, dairy free, gluten free.
Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons mashed, very ripe bananas (about 3 medium bananas)
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon golden ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water, whisk together, set for 15 mins)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups gluten free oat flour –if using homemade oat flour, make sure it’s very finely ground (not coarse)*
- ¾ cup almond meal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- ¾ cup walnuts, chopped
Optional Topping
- 1 tablespoon walnuts, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with muffin liners. Set aside.
- Peel bananas and add to a large mixing bowl. Using a dough blender (recommended) or sturdy fork/whisk mash bananas until smooth. Add the coconut oil, maple syrup, flax egg and vanilla. Whisk until well incorporated.
- Add oat flour, almond meal, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk together until just incorporated, making sure no flour patches remain. Fold in chopped walnuts.
- Using a muffin batter scoop, scoop and drop batter evenly into muffin cups. Fill each cup all the way to the top for a smaller quantity of big, round-topped muffins, and ¾ of the way for a larger quantity of smaller muffins. Optionally, press walnuts into the muffin tops.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes. Mine took 25 minutes for large, high-topped muffins. Place muffin pan onto a cooling rack for 30 minutes. Then, gently transfer muffins directly onto cooling rack for 1 hour to cool completely. Enjoy. Storing instructions below.
