    Tips For Making Delicious Muffins

    Use ripe bananas.

    Not only will they make your muffins more flavourful, they are also so much easier to mash.

    How to tell whether the muffins are done

    Stick a toothpick into the baked muffins. If it comes out nice and clean, then they are ready to come out of the oven.

    There Are No Eggs In This Recipe

    As these are vegan, there are no eggs in these muffins. Ripe bananas really do make a perfect replacement and give them a gorgeous texture.

    Customise This Recipe

    • Use brown sugar for the cinnamon sugar. Although this is similar, it gives the muffins subtle caramelisation flavours.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why are my banana muffins sticky?

    The moisture has evaporated. Store them in an airtight container to slow this process down.

    Why are my vegan muffins dense?

    Too much leavening and/or over mixing.

    How To Store My Vegan Banana Muffins

    Store in an airtight container for 2 days at room temperature and for 3 days in the refrigerator.

    You have to try these vegan cinnamon muffins which are so buttery and coated in a delicious cinnamon sugar. Enjoy. 


    Ingredients

    Units Scale

    Muffin Batter:

    • 2 large ripe bananas (mashed)
    • 180g granulated sugar
    • 240ml soy milk
    • 2.5 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
    • 75ml vegetable oil
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 275g all-purpose flour

    Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

    • 4 tablespoons vegan butter (melted)

    Instructions

    Preparation:

    1. Preheat your oven to 200 Celsius.
    2. Line two 6-hole muffin trays with cupcake liners.
    3. Grease all 16 liners with oil. Set aside.

    Make the muffin batter:

    1. To a large mixing bowl, add the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, soy milk, apple cider vinegar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix.
    2. Next, gradually add in your all-purpose flour to the mixture, along with the baking powder and salt.
    3. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet. Don't over mix. Ensure that there are no pockets of flour remaining. 
    4. Distribute your muffin batter equally between the 12 cupcake liners.

    Bake the muffins:

    1. Bake the muffins in the centre of the oven for 18-20 minutes. Towards the end of the time check on them as every oven is different. They should be golden brown and a skewer should come out completely clean.
    2. Allow the muffins to cool in the trays for a further 10-15 minutes.

    Make the cinnamon sugar topping:

    1. Melt the vegan butter and pour it into a small ramekin.
    2. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. 
    3. While the muffins are still warm, dip them into the melted butter, followed by the cinnamon sugar.
