Thanks to the overripe banana, I landed on this double chocolate banana muffin recipe and it turned out awesome.
That's what I love about the Taste of Home website. The recipes turn out perfect each and every time with or without any modification. I saw the original recipe and decided to bake it as vegan double chocolate banana muffins because I already have an eggless double chocolate muffin recipe in the blog.
I took the idea of substituting a mixture of almond milk and apple cider vinegar for the 1 egg mentioned in the recipe from this vegan banana bread recipe. And the result was fantastic. I literally patted my back for this muffin recipe. It has turned out so good. Even better than my vegan chocolate banana cake. Try it for yourself and share here if you agree with me or not.

Madhuram | Muffins | Baking |
- 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup mini vegan chocolate chips
- 1 cup mashed bananas (See My Notes)
- 1/4 + 1/4 cup almond milk (See My Notes)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- all-purpose flour = whole wheat pastry flour or equal parts whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour
- almond milk = any non-dairy milk of your choice
- apple cider vinegar = white vinegar
- coconut oil = any neutral flavor oil of your choice
- Preheat the oven to 350F/180C for 15 minutes. Line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper liners or grease it with non-stick cooking spray. Mix together 1/4 cup almond milk and vinegar; set aside for it to curdle.
- In a large bowl sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir in the sugar and make well.
- In another bowl combine together the mashed bananas, curdled almond milk, vanilla extract, oil and remaining 1/4 cup milk.
- Add the wet mixture to the well and mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop out the batter among the 12 cavities. About 1/3rd cup of batter per muffin.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean. Mine was done after 20 minutes.
- Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool. If using paper liner, you should be able to lift the muffins off the pan after 5 minutes. Cool it completely on a wire rack before storing it or serve it warm with a glass of milk.
- These vegan double chocolate banana muffins came out amazing. Both the taste and texture was great. It was not at all dense. It had a fluffy texture. The top of the muffins were dry when I left it on the counter but it did turn moist after I stored it in air tight container. The inside remained fluffy though. We all loved these muffins so much. The next time I'm baking these I'm definitely going to use whole wheat pastry flour.
- The original recipe used 1 and 1/3 cups of mashed bananas. Since I had only 1 cup of it I used 1/4 cup of milk for the rest of it. So if you have got 1 and 1/3 cups of banana you will have to use just the 1/4 cup of non-dairy milk to curdle.
- If you decided to use whole wheat pastry flour, I would recommend serving these muffins once it is cooled completely. I personally feel that the whole wheat flour-banana combo does not have a good taste/texture when eaten warm. Or it could be just me!
- These are very sweet muffins. I would definitely cut back on the sugar or chocolate chips if I bake this again. I think 1/2 a cup of chocolate chips or 3/4th cup of sugar should be perfectly fine.
- I have used Enjoy brand's mini vegan chocolate chips in this recipe.
[…] adapted the recipe from Madhuram’s Eggless Cooking. However, I used 1/2 whole wheat flour and 1/2 all purpose flour, whole milk instead of almond milk […]
Mine came out very dense and didn’t rise at all. The only thing I changed was I used stevia instead of sugar. My first vegan baking experience lol
Oh! maybe it has something to do with stevia. I have not baked with it before.
Hi Madhuram.
Tried this recipe over the weekend. Absolutely delicious. My kids loved it. I used whole pastry flour, canola oil and 1% cow’s milk instead. Will definitely make this again. 1 cup of sugar seemed perfect!
Thanks for the feedback Jeya.
Superb recipe… Thanks …. I made it today with soya milk…. My daughter loves it….
You’re welcome Lakshmi.

These muffins are fabulous . I used 2/3 cup evaporated cane sugar , 2/3 cup vegan choc chips and 2/3 cup of walnuts and whole wheat pastry flour . The texture was fluffy and moist . My family loved it . Thanks for the fabulous recipe . We also adore your vegan blueberry muffins .
Thank you very much Tricia.
I got an automated thank you email but I do not see my comment posted here. Was it removed? I love this recipe and had positive things to say about it. I tried the “contact” link, but the verification code was malfunctioning and I could not send a message.
It’s in the previous page Flavia. Check the link for older comments.
YUM! I made these tonight. I even left out the chocolate chips because I didn’t have any, and it was too late to go to the store for them. I must say, I have tried many recipes for chocolate/cocoa cakes and muffins, and this is now my favorite! So moist, light, and delicious that they do not even need a glaze or frosting.
Thanks Flavia.
Yummy! Searched for a recipe with no eggs, because I was out of eggs. This was perfect. I didn’t add chocolate chips. It was perfectly sweet and a hit with the kids. I used raw goats milk because that what we had and Bob’s Red Mill wheat flour.
Going to make another batch right now!
Thanks for the feedback Kristin.
Oh my gosh!! These were amazing!! Love the recipe. I used 1 C. all-purpose flour and 1 C. oats. LOVED the texture! I only put chocolate chips on the top for “decor” before baking…added a bit of extra cocoa, as well as a tad bit more almond milk. This recipe is a KEEPER! Can’t wait to try more of these recipes. 🙂
Thanks Kim.

This is a great recipe! I recently went vegan (no regrets) and was so happy to find vegan muffins! Yum.
Hey, thanks.
I tried this recipe with a few substitutions due to allergies. I used wholewheat stonegrain organic flour. Coconut milk, coconut oil and coconut sugar. I left out the choc chips. I made little mini muffins. They were so yummy. Thank you for this recipe. 🙂
You’re welcome Olga.
I tried your recipe without following the recommendations from your Notes (except I reduced the sugar to 3/4 c and added 1tbps flaxseed meal).
Amazing. A little too moist so I’d go with 1/4c milk and 1c bananas, or 1/4 c milk and 1 and 1/3 c banana, will try it out the next time. Because this recipe is definitely worth a next, next, and next time. Thank you SO much!
You’re welcome.
can u plz suggest some microqwave cake recipes
I don’t bake in microwave oven, so you’ve got to Google for it.
These are really good. I just made them for breakfast tomorrow. My kids will love them. Mine are a little dense, but it could be because I cut the sugar to 3/4 of a cup and left out the chocolate chips. Still very yummy. Thanks.
You’re welcome Christine.
These are the absolute best muffins ever. I need to restrict my sugar so I used Truvia baking blend for less sugar. They are to die for. I bake them and freeze them and bring one to work every day for an afternoon snack. People cannot believe they are vegan. When I don’t have coconut oil I use canola. Thanks for sharing. Any chance you have something similar with pumpkin puree instead of banana? With the harvest season coming up I like to use pumpkin puree now throughout the holiday season. Thanks!
I’m glad that you liked these muffins, Teresa. You can find pumpkin recipes here: https://www.egglesscooking.com/recipes/pumpkin/ I’m guessing that you will love this Moist Pumpkin Cranberry Scones recipe very much.
PERFECT! I used mostly regular whole wheat flour which gave a nice nutty flavor. Also used less suger, 2/3 cup. Not sure of the science behind curdling the milk but I can’t question because they are soooo good. Doesn’t even need the chocolate chips!
Thanks Amanda. The milk and vinegar mix is a substitute for buttermilk.
I used 1/2 cup of raw sugar instead of a full cup of white sugar (I stay away from white sugar) and also used half unbleached white flour and half whole wheat pastry flour, and these turned out great! Plenty sweet! Very chocolaty!
That’s great Barcelona.
Thank you so much for these recipes! I have been severely allergic to peanuts and eggs my whole life and have not been able to eat any desserts or baking at all ever!
Now I am like my family’s own baker! I cant wait to make these! Thank you so much! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!!!
You’re most welcome Jamie.
Hi, I’m going to try this recipe but wanted to know if I can use any other substitute for the coconut oil. Thank you for your wonderful website!
You can use any oil of your choice. I have already mentioned it in the substitution list.
Sorry, missed that :-p … thanks for replying nonetheless
No problem, Bally.
These muffins turned out so well!
Thanks Dixya.
I do not have either vinegar so what do I substitute. All I have is white balsamic vinegar. Can I use milk instead of almond milk?
Yes you can use regular milk instead of almond milk. One of my friends did try a chocolate cake with balsamic vinegar and she said that it turned out good. But I have not tried it so far. Or else why not use 1/4 cup of buttermilk instead? We are mixing vinegar with almond milk to make vegan buttermilk, so regular buttermilk should be fine. Or even milk mixed with a tablespoon of lemon juice should be fine.
These look terrific. I’m going to make them today.
