Chocolate, banana, and pecans…this flavor combination is meant to be. And in a muffin? Truly magical<\/em>! These FLUFFY banana nut muffins are vegan<\/strong>, gluten-free<\/strong>, and generously<\/em> studded with pecans and chocolate chips. Hubba hubba!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus? They\u2019re easy to make with just 1 BOWL<\/strong> and a handful of simple, wholesome ingredients<\/strong>. It\u2019s muffin time, friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Flaxseed<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

These vegan + gluten-free<\/strong> chocolate chip muffins begin with the egg-free binders<\/a>: mashed banana and flax eggs<\/a>. The flax not only keeps these vegan but also adds omega- & fiber-rich goodness and<\/em> ensures perfectly moist, tender muffins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mashing<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Maple syrup keeps these muffins mostly<\/em> naturally sweetened (besides the chocolate chips), and a combination of almond flour<\/a> and our go-to gluten-free flour blend<\/a> makes them super fluffy with a tender crumb<\/strong> texture!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adding<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Besides the muffin basics like oil (or vegan butter), baking soda, vanilla, and salt, there are just two final ingredients: chocolate chips and pecans<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Overhead<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A generous<\/em> amount, of course! We wouldn\u2019t set you up for anything less than melty chocolate and crunchy pecans in every<\/em> bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Vegan<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We can’t wait for you to try these muffins! They’re:

Fluffy
Moist
Tender
Nutty
Chocolate-studded
Easy to make
& SO delicious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being decadent yet wholesome, they’re perfect for a lazy weekend breakfast or as a grab-and-go snack to enjoy throughout the week. They also reheat beautifully from frozen if you want to keep them around at all times (trust us…you will!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
