Description

This vegan banana muffin recipe transforms overripe bananas into moist, fluffy delights with a sweet, gooey salted date caramel swirl. Perfect for a hearty breakfast or nourishing snack, these treats are simple to make and loved by everyone.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 350g (3 large or 4 medium) very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 250g (2 cups) all-purpose flour
  • 150g (0.75 cup) granulated sugar
  • 10g (2 teaspoons) baking powder
  • 5g (1 teaspoon) baking soda
  • 6g (1 teaspoon) fine sea salt (0.5 teaspoon for muffins, 0.5 teaspoon for caramel)
  • 360ml (1.5 cups) unsweetened plant-based milk (1 cup for muffins, 0.5 cup hot for caramel)
  • 80ml (0.33 cup) neutral vegetable oil
  • 15ml (1 tablespoon) apple cider vinegar
  • 10ml (2 teaspoons) alcohol-free vanilla extract (1 teaspoon for muffins, 1 teaspoon for caramel)
  • 150g (1 cup) pitted Medjool dates, firmly packed
  • 15g (2 tablespoons) powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven And Prepare Tin: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, ensuring they fit snugly.
  2. Prepare Salted Date Caramel Swirl: In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the drained pitted Medjool dates, 120ml (0.5 cup) hot plant-based milk, 3g (0.5 teaspoon) fine sea salt, and 5ml (1 teaspoon) alcohol-free vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and 3g (0.5 teaspoon) fine sea salt until well combined and uniform.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, combine the mashed bananas, 240ml (1 cup) plant-based milk, neutral vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and 5ml (1 teaspoon) alcohol-free vanilla extract. Mix until thoroughly combined and smooth.
  5. Combine Wet And Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined; a few lumps are fine. (If it looks dry, add 1-2 Tbsp more plant milk. Avoid overmixing.)
  6. Fill Muffin Liners With Batter And Caramel: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of muffin batter into the bottom of each prepared muffin liner. Add a dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of the prepared Salted Date Caramel Swirl into the center of the batter.
  7. Top And Swirl Caramel: Top with another 2-3 tablespoons of muffin batter, then add another small dollop (about 0.5 teaspoon) of caramel on top. Use a skewer or toothpick to gently swirl the caramel 2-3 times, creating ribbons.
  8. Bake Muffins: Bake for 5 minutes at 200°C (400°F), then reduce the oven temperature to 180°C (350°F) and continue baking for 15-18 minutes more, or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin (avoiding caramel swirls) comes out clean. The tops should be golden brown.
  9. Cool Muffins: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve And Garnish: Once cooled, arrange on a plate. Lightly dust one muffin with powdered sugar for contrast. Drizzle some reserved Salted Date Caramel Swirl across another muffin and onto the plate before serving.

Notes

Mash bananas a day ahead and store in fridge for easy meal prep. Small banana lumps add wonderful texture. Add 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for a comforting warmth. For a less sweet muffin, reduce granulated sugar by 0.25 cup.
