Salted chocolate banana nut muffins — need we say more!? These super fluffy, moist, vegan and gluten-free dreams take your classic banana nut muffin up a notch with flaky sea salt and melty chocolate chips.
Even better? They’re seriously simple to make thanks to our chocolate cake mix. Just 1 bowl, 7 ingredients, and 30 minutes stand in your way. Let’s go!
Inspired by our fan-favorite 1-Bowl Fudgy Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins, this easier version starts with mashed banana to create a moist, egg-free muffin! Water, avocado oil, and vanilla are the only other wet ingredients. Told you they’re easy!
And for the dry ingredients? Just THREE: 1) our vegan + gluten-free Chocolate Cake + Cupcake Mix, 2) chopped walnuts (because aren’t nutty muffins the BEST?!), and 3) chocolate chips (a must for any worthy chocolate muffin).
Stir it all together, add to a muffin tin, and sprinkle with extra walnuts and chocolate chips (optional, but come on…life’s too short to miss out on opportunities for more chocolate, right?).
When the muffins come out of the oven, grab your flaky salt and sprinkle while they’re still warm to help it stick a little. Then let the muffins cool before enjoying for best texture. Or if you can’t resist (we don’t blame you), just know they’ll be a bit more fudgy!
We think you’ll LOVE these muffins! They’re:
Fluffy
Moist
Chocolaty
Perfectly sweet
Nutty
& Entirely delicious!
Grab a glass of dairy-free milk and snack time (or dessert) is on!
