Easy Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Grab your mixing bowls and let's get baking! This banana chocolate chip muffin recipe comes together with 9 simple ingredients, in about 30 minutes. How's that for easy?

They're perfectly moist, sweet, fluffy, and filling. I love them for a quick breakfast or afternoon snack.

Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

One of the most frequent questions I receive is how to make dairy-free and egg-free muffins. So here we are!

These muffins are great for anyone, as we're using only common pantry ingredients. No flax eggs, or applesauce, not even non-dairy milk.

Tips for Making Muffins

  • Use overripe bananas for that sweet luscious banana flavor
  • Don’t over-mix the batter, stir until just combined
  • These mini chocolate chips are my favorite, with their short and sweet ingredient list
  • I recommend storing the muffins covered in the refrigerator and giving them a quick reheat in the microwave when you're ready to eat them

Suggested Equipment: Here is the muffin pan I use!

  • Add mashed bananas to large mixing bowl, and stir until everything is just combined. Fold in chocolate chips now or wait to sprinkle on top once in the muffin pan. If the mixture seems a little dry, stir in a splash of dairy-free milk.

  • Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes then transfer to wire rack. Enjoy!

      Hi Jess! I would suggest dairy-free/plant-based butter in place of refined coconut oil.

      Sorry Jessica, the banana is necessary for these muffins! I want to try experimenting making some muffins with pumpkin, since I have a few cans in my pantry

    These look SO GOOD. I'll need to pick up bananas the next time I go grocery shopping so I can make them.
