All you need to bake delicious eggless banana muffins are simple and healthy ingredients that you probably have at home right now.
Ripe bananas – the darker the better. You should use overripe bananas – then you will need less sugar. Bananas with black spots naturally contain a lot of natural sugar from fructose. This is a great way to avoid sugar in muffin recipes.
Coconut, brown, white or refined cane sugar – any granulated sweetener will do. The recipe works without added sugar.
Avocado oil is a great oil for baking. It contains healthy fats and makes muffins fluffy and moist. You can use any other oil you like.
Milk is optional: Experts prefer almond or soy. You can use your favorite plant-based milk alternative.
Baking powder and baking soda - to give the muffins a fluffy texture.
Vanilla extract - for flavor.
