Step 1
INGREDIENTS:
Banana Muffin Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups mashed banana
- 1 tbsp vegan butter, melted
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp liquid stevia extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 ½ tbsp white distilled vinegar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened nut milk (I used an almond/cashew blend)
- 2 ¼ cups flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/3 cup crushed walnuts

Maple Glaze Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Water for thinning
Step 2
PREPARATION:
- Heat the oven to 350º F.
- Prep your muffin/cupcake tin by greasing the holes or inserting cupcake liners (spray some oil on the cupcake liners so the muffins don't stick).
Step 3
ADD THE WET INGREDIENTS:
- In a small bowl, mash your bananas. Measure out exactly 1 ½ cups and place in a larger bowl.
- Add then melted butter, maple syrup, stevia, salt, vinegar, and milk.
- Carefully mix until everything is evenly combined.
Step 4
ADD THE DRY INGREDIENTS:
- Add in all the flour, and then mix just until everything is combined. The batter will be thick and fluffy. Do not over mix!
- Gently fold in the crushed walnuts.
Step 5
FILL & BAKE:
- Fill each hole in the muffin tin about 3/4 full or until all the batter is used.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until you can insert a toothpick and pull it out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let them sit for 3-4 minutes before removing from the pan.
- Place them on a cooling rack.
Step 6
MAPLE GLAZE:
- While they bake and cool, you can prep your glaze.
- Mix all the glaze ingredients together in a small bowl. If the glaze is too thick to pour, add about 1/2 tsp of water at a time until you get to the desired consistency. It should be just thin enough to drizzle on the muffins.
- Once the muffins are cooled, add the glaze evenly across the muffins.
- Enjoy immediately!
Step 7
TIPS & TRICKS:
- Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
- You can also add chocolate chips to the batter at the same time as the walnuts to make these a yummy dessert.
- If you want to cut back on the sugar, forgo the maple glaze and instead add a tbsp of peanut butter on top.
