These Double Chocolate Banana Muffins are rich and decadent. These muffins are easy to make and are vegan and gluten-free.
There has been a trend going since we all are staying at home more and using baking as a means of therapy. That is making banana bread, one of my favorites. While I will totally go for a good slice of freshly baked banana bread any day of the week, I also wanted something easy to make and that I can grab and go. Also, something with chocolate because chocolate makes everything better right?
So I decided to make these Vegan Double Chocolate Banana Muffins, different from a loaf of banana bread, but taste as good because chocolate is involved. You will only need some pantry items and you’ll have a batch of muffins ready in no time.
Here are the ingredients you will need to make these Vegan Double Chocolate Banana Muffins:
-gluten-free flour (can sub for regular all-purpose flour if not gluten-intolerant)
-cocoa powder
-unrefined coconut oil
-ripe bananas
-organic coconut sugar
-flaxseed meal or chia seeds
-baking soda
-baking powder
-apple cider vinegar
-vegan chocolate chips
-plant-based butter

These Double Chocolate Banana Muffins are rich and decadent. These muffins are easy to make and are vegan and gluten-free.
Ingredients
-¾ cup gluten-free flour (or sub for regular all-purpose flour)
-⅓ cup cocoa powder
-¼ cup coconut oil, melted
-1 ⅓ cup mashed bananas (about 2 large, ripe bananas)
-¾ cup organic coconut sugar
-1 flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed meal (or chia seeds) + 3 tbsp water)
-1 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp baking powder
-½ tsp apple cider vinegar
-pinch of salt
-½ cup vegan chocolate chips
Crumb Topping
-2 tbsp plant-based butter
-⅓ cup gluten-free flour (or regular all-purpose flour)
-3 tbsp organic coconut sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with liners or spray with some oil. Spray every other muffin hole.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, combine the coconut oil, mashed bananas, flaxseed egg, and apple cider vinegar together. Mix well.
- Slowly add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and combine well until no lumps are visible. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter into every other hole in the baking pan. This will allow the muffins to spread further and allow a more rounded top.
- Make the crumb topping. Combine all the ingredients for the crumb toppings together. Divide the crumb mixture among the muffins. Optional to top the muffins with more chocolate chips.
- Bake for 5 minutes. Then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake for another 20-25 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool before removing. Serve and enjoy!
