- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk (almond, soy, oat, etc.)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, vegan chocolate chips, or cinnamon
Equipment

- Mixing bowl
- Fork or potato masher (for mashing bananas)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your muffin tin or line with silicone muffin cups for easy removal.
- Mash the ripe bananas in a mixing bowl using a fork or potato masher until smooth with just a few lumps remaining.
- Add the wet ingredients: stir in the vegetable oil, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. If using cinnamon, add it here.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients gently. Mix just until everything is incorporated — do not overmix to ensure fluffy muffins.
- Fold in any optional add-ins like chopped walnuts or vegan chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Enjoy warm or cooled — these muffins are delicious either way!
