Vegan muffins are muffins that are made with no added dairy, including eggs and milk.

I like how easy these muffins are to make even if you are in a hurry.

Maple syrup is used to sweeten these muffins.

Tips for making the best strawberry banana muffins.

This is one of those recipes that does best when you use older soft or overripe bananas. Older bananas are easier to mash and this is a great way to use them up!

More helpful tips for you.

1. The maple syrup is important for the moisture in this recipe. Because it does not measure 1:1 with other sweeteners, you should look for an alternative that measures 1:1 with maple syrup and that can be baked with rather than using something else.
2. Oat milk is preferred to other vegan milks in baking because of its consistency You can learn more about How To Choose The Right Vegan Milk here.
3. Folding in the strawberries is done to help keep them intact. Use a rubber spatula or similar item to gently fold in your strawberries.
4. I like to use two methods for muffin pan prep in a recipe such as this one. Using liners and nonstick or dusting with flour are commonly used.
5. Resist the urge to fill the muffin cups more than ¾ full. Doing so can cause your muffins to bake over the edges of the cups and onto the pan, a pain to clean up.
6. Resist the urge to overmix your batter. Overmixing will cause that gluten to make your muffins more dense and tougher to eat and thus, less enjoyable to bite into and chew.

How to make Dairy Free Banana Muffins with Strawberries

Prep Time: 10 minutes .
Bake Time : 25 minutes .
Servings: 12 muffins .

1. Prep. Preheat your oven to 375 and prep your muffin pan well for nonstick.
2. Dry Ingredients. In a medium bowl, use a whisk to combine together the flour with baking powder and salt.
3. Wet Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the mashed banana, maple syrup, and oil until combined. Then beat in the oat milk and vanilla extract.
4. Combine. Add the dry ingredients from the first bowl to the ingredients in the mixing bowl and mix until just combined.
5. Fold. Scrape down the sides of your bowl and then gently fold in the strawberry pieces.
6. Bake. Use a cookie scoop or similar item to fill the muffin liners about half way full. Then bake your muffins for 25-30 minutes or until the tops begin to turn golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
7. Cool. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to fully cool.

Expert Tip 👉 While fresh strawberries are preferred in this recipe for their structure and flavor, frozen strawberries can be used. To prevent them from releasing too much moisture into the batter, toss the berries with an extra tablespoon of flour after being cut into quarters.

How to store dairy free muffins.

Once these muffins have fully cooled, they can be stored in an airtight container.
When properly stored, they should keep for about five days at room temperature or frozen for a couple of months.
