Muffins are cupcakes trying to be a bit healthy – our Vegan Oat Banana Muffins are packed with raisins and a bit of Cinnamon. With no icing, and less sugar they are typically made with oats so feel less like a treat. Delicious and more filling than a cupcake – fruity muffins are a great snack.
When baking egg free bananas are a good way to bind the mixture, apple puree also works nicely if you prefer the taste of apples (1/4 cup should do it instead of the mashed banana). Do play around and add in whatever fruit you fancy – dried apricots, dried cherries or even dates work well. These Vegan Oat Banana Muffins last a good few days in an airtight container.

If you fancy something lighter than a muffin but like banana then check out our Vegan Banana Chocolate Cupcakes.
