Gluten free and vegan chocolate chip banana muffins are perfect for an easy make ahead breakfast!
Top o’ the muffin to YOU!
Anyone? Anyone? Does anyone remember this episode?
One of my very favorite Seinfeld episodes ever. :)
Anyway, I have a gluten free and vegan banana chocolate chip muffin recipe to share today, and these were a huge hit over here with the boys. I used almond meal and oat flour, so they were SUPER moist, and I avoided refined sugar and used coconut sugar. I’m loving coconut sugar more and more…it’s healthier, and it still tastes great and is a natural sugar.
The bananas I had were wayyyy over ripe, so that contributed to the texture and the sweetness of these muffins as well.
Gluten Free and Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins.
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten free oat flour
- 3/4 cup almond meal
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1/3 cup organic canola oil
- 2 ripe bananas mashed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup dairy free mini chocolate chips I used the Enjoy Life brand
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin pan with paper cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, almond meal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly, then add the sugar and stir. Add the oil, water, vanilla extract, and vinegar. Stir to combine.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined.
- Add the chocolate chips and mix together.
- Pour the batter into the prepared muffin pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes. These don't rise very high, and that's okay! They are very moist and rich - not a lightweight muffin.
We have a pretty large stockpile of brown bananas in the freezer right now, so I know I’ll be making these vegan chocolate chip banana muffins again soon!

Delicious recipe!
Your picture of these cuties on instagram was totally making me drool, Kelly! These look amazing! Banana anything is one of my favorites, so I’m loving these gluten free muffins. Pinned!
Thanks, Gayle!
These looks really good. I am also using coconut sugar more and more. And I agree with you, it still tastes great and is a natural sugar.
Your muffins do look super moist, Kelly! We have all the ingredients and have to try them soon. Wondering if we could use grapeseed oil instead of canola oil. Thanks for the laugh :)
If you try it, let me know how it works out! I don’t use grapeseed oil too often, so I’m not sure!
I LOVE how moist and loaded with chocolate these muffins are! Since they’re gluten-free I think I would probably end up eating the entire batch. :)
These look seriously delicious! Yum!
These muffins look divine, Kelly! Love chocolate chip and banana, a classic!
Haha. Yes, yes I do. This is the best thing I’ve read and seen all day! Great recipe and thank you for making me laugh!!! ;)
Heehee! I was cracking up yesterday, and then I was sad that Seinfeld isn’t on anymore. :(
I love how packed with chocolate chips these are! I haven’t tried coconut sugar yet, but want to!
You should try it, I think it works nicely in many recipes!
