    Banana Streusel Muffins are the best bake in any season. Use up the ripe bananas by blending them with non dairy milk and sweetener, then mixing up with the flours, oats, spices and leavening, then top with a streusel or some chopped nuts and bake! These muffins are great to snack on, for breakfast or any time of the day.

    For a gluten-free version try my GF Banana Muffins. Add in some fresh berries, more oats, nuts and seeds of choice and make a big batch of Banana Muffins.

    Tips to make soft banana muffins

    • Blend  the bananas for an even mixture, which helps reduce dry or gummy patches.
    • These muffins get sweeter, more moist with time as the moisture and sweetness from the bananas gets absorbed into the flour. So they are best a few hours after baking.
    • These muffins do not need much sugar if using nicely ripe bananas. You can top with some chopped nuts and skip the streusel for a lower sugar muffin.
    • Store them covered by a towel or a container with just a bit of air circulation to cool. This helps reduce the moisture loss during cooling, keeping them soft.

    How to make Vegan Banana Streusel Muffins

    Add all the wet ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Add 1.5 cups flour and other dry ingredients to a bowl and mix. Add the blended mixture and mix until combined.

    Add flour 2 tbsp at a time to make batter that is just slightly stiff. Pour into lined muffin pan

      Absolutely OUTSTANDING!!! I am completely obsessed with this recipe!!! I made 2 changes: 1. increased the cinnamon (I LOVE cinnamon) and I needed a bit more oil for the streusel (I used coconut oil – yum!). Cannot say enough about how delicious and moist and wonderful these muffins are!!

      These banana streusel muffins are beyond amazing. I left the shredded coconut out, as I was out, but the muffins seemed perfect anyway.

        omit the oil from the muffins. you’ll need a few tbsp less flour inthe batter.
        For the streusel, use smoothnut butter, or just top the batter with chopped up nuts.

      This looks great! Can it be made with spelt flour only, instead of all purpose and spelt flour?

      • Richa

        December 04, 2019 at 12:52 pm

        yes. you’ll prob need just 1.5 cups of it. Add a thick streusel on top as that will help reduce moisture loss. Whole grain baking loses moreemoisture than all purpose. Also add an extra tbsp oil in the batter

        Add some Vegetable Glycerine to your muffins and cakes, this prevents the cake having a dry texture and a good crumb
