With the warm weather already here, I bet you have a few overripe bananas waiting to be used up in your pantry. So what are you waiting for? Bake them up right now into these scrumptious and easy Vegan Banana Crumb Muffins. They are really great for anytime, but they make the perfect breakfast.

Bananas are a pretty magical fruit by themselves, packed as they are with potassium and fiber, and they have the power to make any baked good utterly delicious and special. Around here we love bananas baked into just about anything — cakes, breads, puddings. If you can imagine it, chances are we’ve already made it.

But these muffins are a hot favorite hereabouts, because how can you not love something that’s good for you but doesn’t taste that way at all. In fact, these muffins are rather decadent. They have a tender, moist crumb and the topping — slightly crunchy, cinnamon-y and sweet — is to die for.

It takes under 15 minutes to put all the ingredients together, and chances are you have all of them in your pantry too, along with the bananas.

You don’t really need anything to go with these muffins, but Jay loves a small pat of vegan butter because the salty-sweet combo is amazing. Hope you try ’em and if you do, don’t forget to tell me you did!

  • Mix all the wet ingredients in a bowl.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix. Make sure you don't have any dry flour remaining at the bottom, but try not to overmix the batter.

    OMG, I made these muffins yesterday. They were a big hit at home and work. My manager asked I’d I had anymore. I don’t add the applesauce to the crumble topping. Still was great. Thanks for sharing.

    What would be a good substitute for applesauce?

      You can use two flax eggs — two tablespoons of flaxmeal whisked with 6 tbsp water. Or just add a little more banana.

    Thank you Vaishali for another great recipe. I made these this morning and they turned out wonderful. I only had two bananas so I used a half of a soft avocado as a replacement for the third banana, and some chopped walnuts, because I love nuts, and they still turned out great. Wish I had more time to make all of your recipes.

    Holy Cow is right! Made these yesterday and they turned out SO delicious. I’m a nanny and am always looking for yummy (healthy) treats/meals to make with the kiddos. What a bonus that i can “yes, go ahead and lick the spoon or bowl” b/c I’m not worried about raw egg 🙂 As a vegetarian I also look for ways to show them how tasty and versatile plant based can be.
    I just saw your post on quick veggie curry, I’m making that next- I can’t keep up with all your tasty recipes!

      Wanted to follow up letting you know I’ve made these TWICE in two days. This time we made as mini-muffins (only adj was cook time, done in 15 min). They disappeared so fast I was “ordered” to make another batch PRONTO.
