The Absolute Best Vegan Banana Muffins - Easy, One Bowl Recipe


These muffins are everything you could want. Fluffy, crumbly, moist, sweet and super fast and easy to make. 

My kids will literally go bananas (pun Totally intended, guys) over them which is why this recipe makes 24. I like to fill the first muffin tins and then stir in some chocolate chips for the second time giving us all a little variety. Also because out of seven children, we have two weirdos that don't like chocolate. I don't know what to tell you. I obviously failed as a mother.

If you don't have seven kids clammoring for muffins, these also freeze really well and can be popped out a few at a time. They don't usually last long around here though!


So golden. Sweet, crunchy tops from a sprinkle of turbando sugar (raw sugar). We hope you love them as much as we do. It took me a few months of playing with the recipe to get it perfect and I'm excited to pass it along. Enjoy the Good eats!


Vegan Banana Muffins

4 bananas (very ripe)
2 tbls flax meal
1/4 cup + 2 tbls water
2/3 cup vegan butter
1 1/2 cups coconut sugar
1/2 cup plant based milk (we use our homemade oat milk)
1 tbls vanilla
2 cups unbleached flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup vegan chocolate chips (optional)
Turbando sugar to top with

Preheat oven to 350° and grease two 12 cup muffin tins.

Combine the flax meal and water in a small bowl and let sit for five minutes.

Meanwhile, put bananas in a large mixing bowl and mash well. Add flax meal egg, sugar, vegan butter, plant based milk and vanilla and beat with an electric mixer until well combined.

Add in all dry ingredients (minus chocolate chips) and mix until combined. Do not over mix.

At this point you can add chocolate chips to make them all banana chocolate chip muffins or you can wait until after you fill your first muffin tray for variety. Fold the chocolate chips in.

Fill each muffin cup approximately 2/3 of the way full. Sprinkle turbando sugar on top of each muffin.

Bake at 350° for 22-25 min or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Two Hour, No Knead Artisan Bread

When I think of a lovely little witch's cottage, I am immediately drawn to smells. Incense smoke and lemon cleaners. Honeysuckle in the summer and pine in the winter. And always, through it all, the scent of freshly baked bread. Rare is the day there's not a loaf of bread baking in my oven. It is a staple of of evening meal, the loaf sliced right as we fill our plates, the golden pad of butter sitting on the table. Some days it's a sourdough loaf I've worked on for since the night before. Sometimes a quick and simple Italian or French loaf. But more often than not, as my day is filled with other chores, tending animals and gardens and children and home, it's this bread. Perfectly crusty on the outside. To die for soft and springy on the inside. That rich yeasty taste you crave from a homemade bread. I firmly believe the difference between a house and a home is the bread that gets eaten there. This one makes the arena of homemade bread open to...

Spring Foraging in the PNW

As spring arrives to the PNW, we start to look forward to warmer (possibly) dryer weather but it's all that rain that has the first plants peeking their heads out of the earth, coming back to life after their long winter slumber. For me and my children, spring often means lots and lots of walks through the woods behind our home. There we watch the birds build their nests, take note of what's blooming that wasn't before, watch the creek to see how high or low the water is, and (my favorite) begin our foraging season. Today I want to show four of our favorite edible and medicinal plants that are readily available in early spring. You can find separate posts with more detailed info on each plant. This is just an overview of one of my foraging trips in early spring. Yesterday I set out with my trusty foraging bag (a macrame jute bag with a long strap), my camera and, most unusually, all alone. Normally my kiddos will join me when I go walking but sometimes the peac...

The Creamiest Plant Milk

So if you choose to click and buy, thank you. It means a lot to us. I've been making plant-based milk myself for several years now. This simple recipe creates the creamiest milk, and totally satisfies every vegan milk need. I've used it on cereal, mixed with chocolate syrup to make the kids chocolate milk, in baking, in my coffee, as the base for cream sauces... It's delicious and creamy and absolutely perfect. I think one of my favorite things about this recipe is that when you heat this milk up for a sauce, it will thicken up all on its own, just like real cream. Which makes it absolutely perfect for making alfredo sauce or a base for vegan mac and cheese. It will also help thicken up creamy soups, and creamy soups happen to be one of my favorite things to eat ever. Not a single stor...
