My favorite muffin flavor is hands down “banana nut.” It’s a classic and for a good reason. Unlike bakery-style banana nut muffins, this recipe contains less sugar and simpler ingredients.

The texture is perfectly moist and fluffy and will leave you wanting the whole batch.

How to Make Banana Nut Muffins:

This is a simple, no fuss recipe.

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with muffin liners. In a small bowl, whisk together flaxseed meal and water. Set aside for 5 minutes to thicken.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the non-dairy milk and vinegar. Let sit for 5 minutes. Whisk in flax egg, mashed banana, brown sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, baking soda, and baking powder until smooth. Add flour, oats, salt, and spices. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to combine until a smooth batter forms. Fold in chopped walnuts.
  3. Fill each muffin liner until almost full. Bake for 20 min. or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean (a few moist crumbs is ok). Allow cooling in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
  4. While the muffins are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a large mixing bowl, use a handheld mixer to cream butter until light and fluffy. Add powdered sugar and non-dairy milk. Beat on low until smooth and creamy. Top muffins with frosting and garnish with chopped walnuts.
