Our Healthy Banana Muffins are a great grab and go treat. They taste like dessert, but it’s like enjoying a bowl of oatmeal in a muffin wrapper! These healthy muffins are vegan, gluten-free, plant-based, and oil-free.

These muffins are a great way to enjoy oatmeal and you can even use up any overripe bananas you may have laying around.

HOW ARE THESE MUFFINS HEALTHY?

We use super simple and super clean ingredients in our Healthy Banana Muffins. There’s minimal fat from the oats and the only sugar is the sugar from the bananas and optional toppings like chocolate chips. It’s about the same we would eat if we were enjoying a bowl of oatmeal, aside from the baking powder and salt of course.

INGREDIENTS FOR HEALTHY BANANA MUFFINS

You’ll need:

  • overripe bananas – these sweeten the muffins and also hold them together like eggs would
  • oat milk – you could swap this out for any plant based milk or even water works in our tests
  • vanilla – this adds that floral note to the muffins that we all love in baked goods.
  • oat flour – this is the flour and base for the muffins 
  • rolled oats – these add texture and a bit of chewiness
  • cinnamon – adds a little fall flavor, you could also use pumpkin spice if you prefer
  • salt – this balances the sweetness
  • baking powder – this helps the muffins rise, be sure to purchase aluminum-free     

optional mix-ins could be chocolate chips, raisins, other dried fruit, nuts or seeds.

HOW TO MAKE BANANA MUFFINS

DO YOU REFRIGERATE BANANA MUFFINS?

You absolutely can, some of us here prefer them cold and the refrigeration allows you to keep them longer.

HOW LONG DO MUFFINS LAST?

These muffins will last about 1-2 days in an airtight container at room temperature but can last about 4-5 days in the refrigerator.
