    🥘 Ingredients notes

    Make sure before starting vegan muffins you have all the ingredients before you start

    All the ingredients for muffins like oats flour, banana,oil, and sugar are on the surface
    • Oats flour - I prepared my own oats flour by blending the rolled oats in (blendtec) blender, but you could buy it from a store too. 
    • Ripe bananas- Nothing like ripe bananas to make the muffins naturally sweet. Ripe bananas are a key ingredient to get the right flavor and sweetness. 
    • Dairy-free milk- I used almond milk for this recipe. Feel free to choose other options like soy milk, or coconut milk.

    🔪 How to make this recipe

    Preheat the oven to 400F. Then grease the muffin pan and keep it ready for use.

    Prepare oat flour and sieve it to get a fine consistency. Place it aside for use later.

    A bowl is filled with oats flour, baking soda and spice

    First, mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Mash the bananas with a fork.

    Add sugar, oil, and plant-based milk. Stir well. Combine the wet and dry ingredients.

    Mix well and add the chopped pecans and walnuts. Save a little bit of the nuts to top the muffins later. Use a large spoon or ice cream scoop and pour the dough into the greased muffin tin ¾ of the way – top with chopped pecan and walnuts. Bake for 15 minutes at 400F for perfection.

    Recipe FAQs

    How to make oats flour?

    All you need is whole rolled oats (not steel-cut or quick oats) and a food processor or high-speed blender. Place the oats in the blender or food processor and blend to a fine consistency. That's it!! Gently sieve it and you could use it in any recipe that calls for oats flour. 

    Can you substitute oats for all-purpose flour in muffins?

    Absolutely! Just try this recipe and you will see that it is not only possible but also a wonderful substitute.

    How do you make vegan muffins moist?

    Generally any plant based milk will work for vegan muffins, but the choice of sweetener can be a great factor in getting the moistness captured. A sweetener like maple syrup or agave would hold up the muffins and also keep them moist.

    💭 Baking tips and suggestions

    • Use a greased muffin pan or paper muffin cups. Both options work equally well for this recipe.
    • I used almond milk in this recipe but you can replace it with coconut milk or any other nut-milk/dairy-free milk of your choice.
    • Oats flour can be replaced with all-purpose flour, if you do not prefer oat flour. 
    • Ripe bananas are key for two reasons - sweetness and texture. A little bit of brown spots on the bananas is what you need. 
    • You can also use brown bananas that have been (de-skinned and) frozen. That way you can prepare the recipe when you are ready.
    • These muffins will stay out fresh for 4- 5 days, if it lasts that long that is…:-) 

    We enjoy these vegan banana oat muffins for breakfast or as a healthier dessert paired with coffee. Oatmeal muffins are packed with nutrients & antioxidants and you will never be able to tell they are dairy-free and egg-free! My kids enjoyed these oat banana muffins the entire week with warm chocolate milk. This will be perfect to celebrate winter with your family.

      How much oat flour would I use if I’m not first measuring the oats. I already made a bunch of oat flour the other day. Thank you!

        Hi Melissa, 1 cup rolled oats yields about 3/4 cup flour. This might help you.

      Baked these this morning and they are so yummy!
      I used monk fruit for the refined sugar as a sub.
      They are so moist and super easy to make.
      Thank you!
