Today I wanna share with you the best vegan muffins ever recipe. They taste like heaven and they're egg, dairy and cholesterol free, so are much healthier than regular muffins.
These delicious muffins are perfect for breakfast, but you can also eat them as a dessert or even as a snack, I could eat them all day long, I love them so much!
If you wanna make a gluten free recipe, you should read my guide to gluten free flours to make your own gluten free flour blend. Store bought gluten free flour blends are more expensive, but you can use them if you want. Spelt and rye flour are also a great wheat alternative, although they're not gluten free.
In the picture below you can see the consistency of the batter. If you use another type of flour and your batter is too thick, add more milk. If it's too watery, add more flour. You can also try the batter and add more sweetener or other ingredients if you want until it's perfect for you.
I didn't use muffin liners, I just greased a 12 cup muffin pan, but you can use them if you want. I think muffins look better without the liners and it's a cheaper and more environmentally friendly alternative. If you use a non-stick muffin pan, you don't need to grease it, but I prefer to grease mine to avoid muffins to sticking to the pan.
Scoop the batter into the muffin pan and sprinkle the top with more chocolate chips. Bake for 20 or 25 minutes and enjoy!
If you can't find the chocolate chips, use a chopped chocolate bar instead. Feel free to use the plant milk and the non refined oil you prefer (I usually use extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil). You can also substitute the coconut sugar for any other sweetener, although if you use agave or maple syrup or other liquid sweetener, maybe you'll need to add more flour.
I love to eat these super tender, satisfying and irresistible simple vegan chocolate chip muffins with homemade almond milk, but there many other plant milks and beverages you can drink. Don't forget to leave a comment or tag a picture #simpleveganblog on Instagram (or on your favorite social network) if you make the muffins!

They came out PERFECT!!! I am in love with them!
I love how this recipe is super simple and adaptable! The perfect basic banana muffin!!! I used white flour and brown sugar and switched the chocolate chips for chopped chocolate bars, roasted oats and almonds and raisins and it tasted like heaven!

Hi Mariana! Sounds so good 🙂
Samantha Pachirat says
If one doesn't have whole wheat flour do you think all-purpose white flour or whole grain pastry flour would be a better substitute?
Iosune Robles says
Hi Samantha, feel free to use any type of flour. Remember that if your batter is too thick, you will have to add more milk and if it’s too watery, you will have to add more flour. Have a nice day 🙂
Anne says
I made this recipe gluten free with half almond flour, half gluten free flour and it came out really well! Even the non allergy members of the family love them. Thank you!

Hi Anne! Sounds so good 🙂 So glad you enjoyed it!
Jess and Paige says
We probably did something wrong because they tasted pretty dang toxic when a friend and I made them. We love healthy things but don't know what we did wrong 🙁 Either way they were terrible SOS plz help... We did exactly what the recipe called for so the ingredients were all the same, does the order matter terribly enough for something to go super wrong??? lol
Iosune says
Hi Jess and Paige! If you used the same ingredients and followed the recipe to the T, I'm afraid I can't help you 🙁 Maybe some of the ingredients gone bad... I'm so sorry the recipe didn't work for you!
jess and paige says
On further reflection we believe we used baking soda rather than baking powder. Thank you for the condolences.
Aly says
I thought 4 bananas sounded like too much, and indeed it was too much 😭 they didn’t rise much and are v. soggy.

Hi Aly! I'm so sorry the recipe didn't work for you, but it's so popular on the blog and our readers love it. Use smaller bananas next time. Have a nice day!
Lindsey says

Hi Lindsey! Sounds great 🙂 So glad you liked them!
Kerstin says
I just made these using rice flour (had to use it up), coconut oil, (organic) soya milk, sultanas instead of the choc chips and 4 large bananas (very ripe of course!) and they have turned out beautiful!! Didn't rise very much but they are the perfect size for a little snack with lunch. Could even use less coconut sugar as the bananas were so ripe and sweet. Thank you for sharing this recipe. This is a keeper 🙂

Hi Kerstin! You're so welcome 🙂 I'm so glad you enjoyed them!
Janice says
I used small overripe bananas (roughly 6-7 inches across) and replaced the oil with unsweetened applesauce. They turned out great! Kids love them and I see alot of possibilities. I'll try switching out the chocolate with blueberries or apples next time. Thanks! These are awesome!

Amy says
I’ve made these twice and love them. I used vegan chocolate chunks and white flour. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly. I love the flavor! I want to experiment with the texture for more cake textured muffins. What would you suggest? More flour or baking powder? Thank you for this recipe!

Hi Amy! So glad you liked them 🙂 I'm not sure, maybe adding more flour or baking powder could work...
