Easy Vegan Muffin Recipes
1. Vegan Chocolate Banana Muffin
Sometimes, a single dose of chocolate just isn’t enough. That’s why you need to belly up to the bar and demand a double chocolate muffin. The extra chocolate, along with banana and applesauce, makes them super rich and decadent.

In zucchini bread, you don’t really taste the zucchini. Similarly, in these spinach muffins, you can’t taste any spinach. The nutrients are in there but all you’ll taste is a sweet, fluffy muffin.

Vegan Muffin Recipes FAQ
Luckily, there are several vegan muffin mixes that you buy, if you don’t feel like baking them from scratch. The following brands sell them: Miss Jones Baking Co., Simple Mills, Bob’s Red Mill, Lakanto and Vegan Knife.
Most vegan muffins will be fresh for up to 4 days, if stored correctly. Keep them in an airtight container away from the sun, or in a cool, dry place.
There are a few possibilities: you either used too much rising agent, you didn’t bake the muffins long enough, your oven is too hot or you may have overfilled your pan. When baking vegan muffins, always make sure to carefully follow the recipe and read the blogger’s recommendation for tools and temperatures.
Overmixing your batter, not using the right egg substitutes, or putting too much liquid or flour in the batter can all be reasons for a dense vegan cake.

Muffins for breakfast… I like your way of thinking ? I can’t wait to try these. I have to admit, I’m a bit bored of oatmeal and smoothie.
I love muffins for breakfast. They are like tiny cakes.
So yummy!
Can’t wait to try these!
Loved all the choices for muffins and have printed off several to try. Was disappointed when the one that excited me most…..the Cinnamon Bun Muffin did not have the recipe available. Any chance for that recipe? Thanks!
