Soooo….I have a really important announcement to make.

THESE ARE THE BEST MUFFINS I’VE EVER TASTED.

Seriously.

These are the best muffins I’ve ever had and they just so happen to be vegan, made with whole wheat flour, and naturally sweetened.

Say gooooood morning to Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins.

How’s that for a little Monday morning magic?

When One Bananas reached out to us to use their bananas in a recipe, my mind immediately went to muffins. Bananas and muffins just go together. Right? It’s like peanut butter and jelly or grilled cheese and tomato soup.

Classic. Comforting. Yummy.

Then I did a little research on their company and found out that they focus on growing their bananas in a socially and environmentally responsible way and have created programs that address health and wellness and family nutrition for their employees!

Because of this, I knew I wanted to make really wholesome, high quality, nutritious, but still great tasting muffins.

Before this recipe for vegan banana chocolate chip muffins, I hadn’t really played around with vegan baking much. Some of my favorite cooking dishes like my easy black beans and delicious roasted red pepper soup are vegan, but I’ve been a little shy in the vegan baking category. Boy – oh – boy have I been missing out! These are by far the most tender, moist, rich muffins I’ve ever tasted.

I feel like people often won’t try something because it’s labeled “vegan” so here’s what you need to do…Don’t tell anybody these are vegan and they’ll never know (that’s what I did to Trevor). 🙊

Not only are these muffins vegan, which btw – if you’re new to the vegan thing – it means no animal products: no dairy, no eggs, etc. – but they’re also super healthy!

Today I’ve only used whole wheat pastry flour, that’s right, no white flour here! I’ve also only used all-natural sweeteners in this recipe in the form of organic agave and our One Bananas! Lastly, I’ve used almond milk and organic coconut oil for moisture and to round it out, a whooooole lotta vegan chocolate chips.

But really, Jennifer. How do these actually taste good?

All natural ingredients? No butter? No eggs? Naturally sweetened?

Saaaay waaaaat?!

Guys. Just trust me on this one. I guarantee you’re going to fall head over heels for these vegan banana chocolate chip muffins.

To give you a little insight, I’ve made this recipe 3 times now and there’s only a handful left. Yes. We gave some away to friends, but Trevor and I have both been chowing down on these for, um, breakfast, snack, lunch, pre-dinner, after-dinner, and dessert.

I honestly wish I was kidding, but heyyyy remember? These are healthy muffins…so it’s ok, riiiight? Right. 😉

Let me just tell you one more time…these vegan banana chocolate chip muffins are healthy, wholesome, moist, tender, banana-y, slightly cinnamon-y, and just overall awesome.

Make these and make your Monday 1,000,000 times better. 🙂
