Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F and prepare a muffin pan.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a small bowl, whisk together oil, vanilla extract, and sugar. Transfer to bowl with dry ingredients.

Add mashed bananas to large mixing bowl, and stir until everything is just combined. Fold in chocolate chips now or wait to sprinkle on top once in the muffin pan. If the mixture seems a little dry, stir in a splash of dairy-free milk.

Evenly fill each spot in the muffin pan then place in preheated oven. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes then transfer to wire rack. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Maximize Banana Ripeness 🍌
Use bananas with brown spots or even fully blackened skin—the higher sugar content from ripeness creates superior moisture and natural sweetness, eliminating the need for eggs as a binder.
Mash Bananas Properly 🥄
Don't over-mash; leave small chunks of banana in the batter to create pockets of intense banana flavor and prevent a dense, gluey texture in the finished muffins.
Melt Coconut Oil Correctly 🥥
Gently warm coconut oil to just melted (about 76°F) before mixing—this prevents it from re-solidifying in cold batter and ensures even distribution for consistent moisture throughout.
Don't Overmix the Batter 👐
Mix dry and wet ingredients until just combined with visible flour streaks remaining; overmixing develops gluten and creates tough, dense muffins instead of tender, fluffy ones.
Toast Chocolate Chips First 🍫
Lightly toast dairy-free chocolate chips in a dry pan for 30 seconds before folding into batter to intensify their flavor and prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
