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.

Cinnamon Cardamom Dutch Baby

So if you choose to click and buy, thank you. It means a lot to us. Dutch babies are popular breakfast at our house. They're quick to make and a delicious and healthy start to the day. They also use up a few eggs when our chickens are providing more than we really know what to do with! Interestingly enough, while Dutch babies may have come from the German Pfannkuchen, the version most popular today originated in the early 1990's at a cafe in Seattle, WA. Manca's Cafe, owned by Victor Manca, is where the name Dutch Baby originated with one of his daughter's and the cafe claims they owned the trademark to the term as early as 1942! However the history goes, these have been a favorite of my family for over a decade and my kids are never sad when I announce we're having Dutch Babies for breakf...

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...

Quick and Easy Teriyaki Seitan

This post may contain affiliate links. I make a small profit if you click the link and make a purchase, which in turn helps support my family and the life we are working to build. So if you choose to click and buy, thank you. It means a lot to us. I have tried so many (so, so many) seitan recipes in an attempt to create a meat-like product the bearded man won’t turn his nose up at. This one is a hit every single time, and unlike other recipes, comes together quickly without hours of simmering or baking. I like to serve it alongside stir fry and sticky rice or yakisoba, making an entirely vegan meal that tastes just like I picked up the real thing from Golden China down the road. It’s quicker, healthier, and much easier on our bank account though! The other great thing about this seitan recipe is that it’s easy to use for other types of meals. Just don’t toss it in the teriyaki sauce at the end. It can be added to pastas (chicken broccoli alfredo, yes please!), breaded and deep fried to...
