The idea of creating banana bread muffins actually only came about because of the far too many brown bananas at home, all of which will soon be thrown away. But food waste is an absolute no-go for us! So we had to find a recipe with bananas😊 I'm so impressed with these super moist, vegan and gluten-free muffins that I can only highly recommend them. They are perfect as a healthy snack on mountain hikes, when picnicking and swimming or as a slightly sweet treat at brunch. Thanks to the high-quality, protein-rich ingredients, they also keep you full for a long time. If you need to get rid of overripe brown bananas or are simply a banana bread lover, try this super simple and quick recipe - you'll love it!

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1 lupin egg (15g lupin flour + 45ml water)
  • 100g gf rolled oats
  • 20g hemp flour or gluten-free flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bourbon
  • 50g maple syrup
  • 100g vegan butter, melted / alternatively butter, if not vegan
  • 60g tahini (optional)
  • 80g cahewnuts, chopped
  • 1/2 banana as decoration

This is how it's done

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees top/bottom heat. Grease the muffin tray or place the muffin cases on a baking tray.
  2. First mix the lupin egg. Mix 15g lupin flour + 45ml water and stir until smooth and there are no more lumps. Leave to stand for 5 minutes.
  3. In the meantime, mash the bananas in a large bowl with a fork.
  4. Add the melted vegan butter, tahini, lupin egg and rice syrup to the mashed bananas and mix everything with a hand mixer for 2 minutes. The batter does not necessarily have to be completely smooth 😊.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, hemp flour, baking powder, salt, vanilla bourbon and cinnamon and fold into the banana mixture. Now mix in the chopped cashew nuts. If the batter is too runny, add a little more flour or oat flakes; if it is too firm, add a little plant-based milk.
  6. Now pour the mixture into the ramekins and arrange 2 thin banana slices on top of each. If you like, you can sprinkle some oat flakes and cane sugar on top for that extra crunch😉.
  7. Bake the muffins for approx. 30-35 minutes. When the dough no longer sticks when you prick them, take them out and leave to cool.
