Vegan Chocolate Banana Muffins to Start the Day
Is it me, or are muffins the epitome of a perfect breakfast food?
They’re:
- Packed up, ready for on-the-go!

Now, I’m sure you can guess that these muffins are no different.
But what’s even better?
These chocolate banana muffins are oil and refined-sugar free. No joke!
These babes are sweetened with maple syrup and banana; a perfect combination!
Best of all, the banana flavor doesn’t overwhelm the recipe, instead adding an incredible complexity to the flavor undertones.
Seriously Healthy Vegan Chocolate Banana Muffins
Furthermore, did we mention that these muffins are secretly healthy AF?
It’s true! We couldn’t stop at just removing the refined-sugar and oil!
These muffins are also packed with:
- Dietary fiber,
- Omegas 3&6,
- Potassium, and
- Iron
All while maintaining incredible flavor
I could go on and on explaining why I love these muffins, but you have to try for yourself!
Seriously: one bite and you’ll be sold.
What’s even better?
You can actually freeze the batter for hot & fresh muffins in the morning! Simply freeze the batter in the muffin tray (papers too). When you’re ready to bake them, simply follow the standard directions and add 5 minutes on top of the baking time!
Who wouldn’t love a fresh batch of chocolate banana muffins!?
