How to Make Vegan Blueberry Banana Muffins
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
Step 2: Mash the Bananas
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. The riper, the better — those brown spots mean sweetness.
Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients
Stir in melted coconut oil, maple syrup, plant milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Step 4: Add Dry Ingredients
Sprinkle flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt over the wet mixture. Gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix — that’s the secret to fluffy muffins.
Step 5: Fold in Blueberries
Carefully fold in the blueberries. If using frozen, don’t thaw them first.
Step 6: Fill and Bake
Divide the batter evenly into muffin cups, filling about ¾ full.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let them cool slightly before removing from the pan.
What to Serve with Vegan Blueberry Banana Muffins
- Almond butter spread

They’re beautiful on a brunch table, especially alongside fresh citrus and herbal tea.
Tips for Making Them Perfect
- Use very ripe bananas for best sweetness

General Information
Bananas act as both sweetener and binder in vegan baking, replacing eggs beautifully. Combined with baking soda and baking powder, they help create lift and softness.
Blueberries add antioxidants and natural sweetness, making these muffins a wholesome option compared to store-bought versions.
My nonna always said, “Waste not, want not.” Overripe bananas? They become muffins. Simple as that.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these gluten-free?
Yes! Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
Can I reduce the maple syrup?
Yes, but the muffins may be slightly less sweet. You can add a little extra mashed banana.
Why are my muffins dense?
Overmixing or underripe bananas can cause density.
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Absolutely. Add them straight from the freezer.
