    Tips For Making Vegan Muffin

    Don't over mix the batter

    This will result in you having dense muffins instead of them being light and fluffy due the gluten becoming stronger and more activated. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet and you will have a delicious outcome.

    Place firm peanut butter in the microwave

    Natural peanut butter can be quite tough. If this is the case for you, place it in the microwave for 15 second intervals, stirring in between.

    Customise This Recipe

    • Leave out the chocolate chips. If you want muffins that are purely peanut butter, don't add any chocolate.
    • Drizzle extra peanut butter on top. Sometimes I like to melt peanut butter to dip the tops of my muffins in.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why are my muffins dense and not fluffy?

    Adding too much leavening (baking powder/baking soda) to the muffin batter will cause them to rise and the quickly collapse, causing the dense texture.

    Can these muffins be frozen?

    Yes! Store them in a freezer bag for up to three months.

    How To Store My Vegan Muffins

    Store these muffins in the fridge for 2 days or at room temperature for 1 day. Store in an airtight container or cover with plastic wrap.

    Description

    These vegan peanut butter muffins are so fluffy. They're filled with chocolate chips and best eaten warm. Happy baking!


    Ingredients

    Units Scale

    For The Muffins:

    • 1 large ripe banana (mashed)
    • 180g granulated sugar
    • 240ml soy milk
    • 100g smooth peanut butter
    • 2.5 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
    • 75ml vegetable oil
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 275g all-purpose flour
    • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 100g vegan chocolate chips

    Instructions

    Preparation:

    1. Preheat your oven to 200 Celsius (390F).
    2. Line two 6-hole muffin trays with cupcake liners.
    3. Grease all 12 liners with a drop of oil. Set aside.

    Make the muffin batter:

    1. Add the mashed banana, sugar, soy milk, peanut butter, vinegar, oil and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl. Whisk well.
    2. Gradually fold in the flour to the mixture, then fold in the baking powder and salt. Don't mix. Make sure that there are no remaining pockets of flour.
    3. Finally fold in your vegan chocolate chips. 
    4. Pour the muffin batter equally into the 12 cupcake liners. 

    Bake the muffins:

    1. Place the muffin trays into the centre of the preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown. A skewer should come out completely clean. Every oven is different so they may take 25 minutes to bake.
    2. Allow the muffins to cool in the trays for 10-15 minutes then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool fully.
