Ingredients

• 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 3 medium Ripe bananas (mashed)
• 0.66 cups Brown sugar
• 0.3 cups Neutral vegetable oil (e.g., canola or sunflower oil)
• 0.25 cups Unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g., almond or oat milk)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Chopped walnuts
• 0.25 cups Extra chopped walnuts (for topping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease it with oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth. Add the brown sugar, vegetable oil, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract, then mix until evenly combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently fold the mixture together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should look slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the 3/4 cup of chopped walnuts into the batter until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the tops of each muffin with the optional extra chopped walnuts if desired.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy your vegan banana nut muffins fresh or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to a week.
