A delicious vegan muffin that is crisp and golden on top, dense and hearty inside, and totally addictive. This recipe is a recreation of my favourite muffins from a terrific vegan cafe in Toronto. Tasty flavour additions to this basic muffin batter include: chopped sweet potato and dates, pear and walnuts, apple and cranberries, or whatever else may tickle your fancy.

Step 2
Whisk together spelt flour, oats, baking soda, and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir together bananas, oil, and sugar in a separate bowl. Stir banana mixture into spelt mixture just until dry ingredients are moistened; divide mixture evenly into 12 muffin cups.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 18 minutes. Cool in pan for 10 minutes; remove to cool completely on a wire rack.

Cook's Notes:

These muffins come out very golden and a little bit crispy on top compared to other softer muffins. Make sure to check with a toothpick that the inside has cooked through before removing from the oven.

Add 1/2 cup chopped nuts and 1/2 cup fresh or dried fruit to the basic muffin batter.

I'm going to rate these muffins first based on MY taste as a non-vegan and then when my vegan niece comes and tries them I'll make an addition to this review as to her viewpoint. This was my first experience with spelt flour and it tasted grainy to me. However the flavor of the muffin itself was very good. I took the liberty of using the addition of sweet potato and dried plums since the submitter suggested possibilities of additions to this basic recipe. There is another recipe here submitted by the same person using sweet potato. The twelve muffins cooked up perfectly and took exactly 18 minutes to bake. I do think adding nuts to these would be wonderful. Thanks Mandi! Read More

Definitely added to my favorite list, and will make again. Thank you for the yummy recipe! I swapped avocado oil instead of sunflower oil, added 1/4 teaspoon of salt, a dash or two of pumpkin pie spice, coconut sugar instead of white sugar, and 1/2 cup applesauce. Read More

They weren’t bad. I made them as directed. I had 3 ripened bananas and I should have used all 3 instead of 2. I’m not even tasting any banana flavor. I would make this again but would definitely change up the recipe some. Read More
