Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins That Are Ready to Devour in 30 Minutes

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Chapel Hill chapter.

When it comes to dessert, there’s a constant battle between choosing a rich, decadent, bad for your arteries recipe, and settling for a healthy, bland, tasteless recipe. More specifically, when it comes to a fan favorite such as banana chocolate chip muffins, it can be hard to give up the typical chocolatey, egg-y, milky recipes. Fortunately, substituting a few ingredients to make vegan banana chocolate chip muffins can be done without compromising on flavor.

The soft texture of the mashed bananas paired with the liquid consistency of the coconut oil keep these vegan banana chocolate chip muffins fluffy. This recipe can be baked as a loaf for banana chocolate chip bread or kept as muffins. Either way, it’s a great breakfast, snack, or dessert recipe that everyone will crave. 

Don’t be surprised if these muffins make you consider becoming a vegan (or at least baking more tasty vegan desserts).
