kcalWe love this recipe from Making Thyme for Health: Vegan Banana Oatmeal Blender Muffins. They’re 100% plant-based, gluten-free, and oil-free. You can make them nut-free if you substitute the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter. We’ve been making them weekly with the kids, for the kids. Great for picky eaters and an after school snack. Try ’em!
Ingredients
½ cup non-dairy milk
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
¼ cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ripe bananas
¼ cup peanut butter
2 cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup dark chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
- In a blender, add ingredients in the order listed (excluding chocolate chips).
- Blend on high speed for 60 seconds or until completely smooth.
- Fold in chocolate chips by hand.
- Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

I made these muffins today. It was fast and easy. Put everything in the Vitamix, blend, put in muffin cups, cook, cool (well, just for a minute), eat! Of course cleanup was simple too. Muffins were delicious. Everyone needs a Vitamix! Thanks for the recipe.

I wish there was a sub for banana as I only have half a frozen one. Maybe apple & mango lol. It’s all I have and I’m not going out lol.
