They are moist and fluffy, and they are vegan banana muffins. If you want to capture the magic of my Vegan Banana Bread in a single quick snack that you can grab and go, then you absolutely must try these muffins.
These vegan banana bread muffins are nothing short of a bakery-style muffin, and they are extraordinarily fluffy and very tasty. In addition, you do not require any special ingredients in order to prepare them. Just some basic, daily baking ingredients, along with the ripe bananas with spots that are sitting on your kitchen counter.
These muffins are topped with a crumble of nutty walnuts, which results in a muffin inside that is so soft that it melts in your tongue and a sweet crunch on top (they are unbelievably delicious!).
You may go ahead and grab a muffin on your way out the door, bring them to the brunch on Sunday, or eat them as a snack or dessert.

Why this recipe works
A soft and fluffy dream
The mix of whipped aquafaba and juicy bananas gives these bakery-style muffins their luscious texture. Together, these two produce banana muffins that are bouncy, fluffy, and just the right amount of moist. No dense muffins here!
In the meantime, each mouthful of the muffins' sweet walnut crumble has a delicate crunch as it nearly caramelizes in the oven. It provides the ideal contrast to the cozy, cushioned inside.
A mashup of two favorite recipes
This vegan banana muffin recipe would be the offspring of my banana bread and blueberry muffin recipes. When I say that these muffins are among the greatest you'll ever taste, I mean it!
Max, my boyfriend, who usually dislikes fruit in sweets, even declared that these were the nicest muffins he had ever tasted.
With their broad, rounded tops and optimal fluff, the muffins appear to have been freshly prepared from the bakery. Meanwhile, you'll be reminded of a vegan banana bread by the soft crumb and warm, sweet aromas. You have a true winner when you combine the two!
Simple ingredients; gourmet flavor
Simple, well-known ingredients that should be readily available at practically any grocery shop are used to make these muffins. Warm spices enhance the sweet banana flavor and make it even better, but ripe bananas are still essential.

Ingredient notes
Aquafaba
This is just the chickpea liquid from a can. It's my favorite egg alternative, and when softly beaten, it creates a light, supple, and fluffy texture in baked items like Vegan Lemon Cake and these muffins.
Bananas
When the bananas you neglected to eat start to go brown and spotty, this is the ideal recipe to use.The muffins will be sweeter and more delicious if your bananas are ripe. Additionally, the ripe bananas provide as a natural sweetness and source of moisture.
Vegan buttermilk
Just combine oat milk and lemon juice to create a buttermilk substitute. This recipe is revolutionary because the acidity shortens the gluten strands in the wheat, resulting in muffins that are very light and soft.
Substitute: Most plant milk will work well here, but we've found that oat milk works best since the natural sugars help baked foods brown more evenly. Although apple cider vinegar can be substituted, we have also found that lemon juice produces the greatest results.
Brown sugar
Compared to white sugar, brown sugar contains more moisture and a deeper taste. If you reside in the United States, try to get organic brown sugar to make sure it is vegan.
