These Vegan Banana Date Muffins are soft, moist, and naturally sweet, made with no refined sugar, no eggs, and completely dairy-free. Perfect for a wholesome breakfast, grab-and-go snack, or a delicious dessert.
First, measure and mash the bananas. In a blender, combine mashed bananas, pitted dates, plant milk, oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Blend until smooth.
1 + ¼ cup mashed bananas, ½ cup unsweetened almond milk, ¼ cup neutral vegetable oil, 1 cup dates, 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon vanilla
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
1 + ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Don’t overmix to keep muffins soft and fluffy.
Divide the batter into a 12-cup muffin tin lined with paper or silicone liners. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before enjoying.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor.
Spoon flour into your measuring cup and level with a knife. Avoid scooping directly from the bag to keep muffins light and fluffy.
Don’t overmix, fold the wet and dry ingredients until just combined to ensure soft, tender muffins.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze individually for up to 2 months.
