When you can’t get enough of banana bread, try these vegan banana muffins too. Go the extra-sweet way by adding chocolate chips, or go the savory route and mix in chopped walnuts.

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 medium ripe bananas
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chopped walnuts, optional

Directions

In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients. In another bowl, mash the bananas. Add oil and vanilla; mix well. Stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened. If desired, fold in chocolate chips or walnuts. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups half full.
Bake at 375° for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
