These little delicious muffins are such a nice treat on weekday mornings and weekend brunches alike. They're gluten-free, vegan, and super easy to make as an added bonus. Loaded with banana flavor, you'd never know that these melt-in-your-mouth muffins are good for you, too!
Feel free to add in other ingredients to dress up your muffins; blueberries, dairy-free chocolate chips, walnuts or other nuts, dried fruit, or shredded coconut are all tasty additions to any banana muffin. And if you want to make your morning meal a little extra special, try whipping up a deliciously dairy-free and gluten-free cashew butter, pumpkin butter, or vegan lemon curd.
