What you’ll need for egg-free banana muffins?
Here is the pic of all the ingredients you will need to make these yummy eggless banana muffins.
Just a couple of notes on above, worth reading!!
Flour - Here I have used all purpose flour. But I have made them with whole wheat flour (Chapati atta) and it works just fine. Also, I have tried them with 50-50 all purpose flour-wheat flour.
Brown sugar - It adds moisture along with sweetness to make the tender crumbs in the muffins. If you do not have on hand, you can substitute with regular white sugar.
Baking soda and baking powder - these are leaveners and help muffins rise while baking. Always use fresh, check the expiration before using it.
Ground cinnamon - adds a really nice flavor and that complements the banana flavor. If you not like it, you can skip.
Salt - just a pinch makes muffins ultra-flavorful.
Banana - always use ripe or overripe bananas to get the natural sweetness and adjust the sugar amount accordingly. Also, not ripe bananas are hard to mash properly and won’t mix properly into the batter.
Butter - Use very soft, room temperature unsalted butter. If making vegan, substitute with oil or margarine.
Add-ins - I have used walnuts and chocolate chips both. You can use either one or skip both entirely. Or you can use raisins.
How to make Eggless Banana Muffins?
Prep:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F or 190 degrees C for at least 10 minutes. place the oven rack in the center of the oven.
- Line 12 cup muffin pan with cupcake liners and keep it aside. Or you can simply spray it with nonstick cooking spray or grease with butter or oil.
1) In a bowl, take all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and ground cinnamon.
2) Whisk well till everything is incorporated well. Keep it aside.
3) Take some ripe bananas. Yes, skin starts to get black, and the fruit itself gets soft and sweeter. Peel them.
4) Mash them using a fork, measure and add into the bowl.
5) Add oil, soften butter and vanilla extract.
6) Whisk really well. Sometimes you may get crudled batter if the butter is not at room temperature completely. That is fine, you see this batter is very forgiving.
7) Now add both sugars (regular white sugar and light brown sugar).
8) Beat it really well till sugar dissolves.
9) Now add dry flour mixture.
10) Mix with a spatula till everything comes together. Do not overmix.
11) Lastly, add walnuts and chocolate chips. You can skip or use just one as per your preference.
12) Fold them into the batter.
13) Divide the batter into 12 muffin cups equally (they are almost full unlike cupcakes where we fill them only ⅔ way).
14) Bake into the preheated oven for 25 minutes or till the inserted toothpick in the center of the muffin will come out clean.
Let the muffins cool down in the pan for 5 minutes, then place them on the cooling rack to cool completely. Though you can start enjoying while it is warm.
Storing the muffins: Once muffins cool down completely, then you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. You can freeze them and warm it up in the microwave before serving.

If I am replacing the butter with oil should it be something like canola oil or could I do coconut oil? Thanks!

You can use any flavorless oil like canola, vegetable, corn, safflower, avocado oil, etc.
You can use coconut oil as well but it will have slight flavor of that in muffins.
