One Bowl Double Chocolate Banana Muffins (Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free)

Do you remember the emo post? Ya know, the one about my emotional baking breakdown double chocolate banana nut bread? I told you about the self-imposed crazy-high, unrealistic, doomed-to-fail standards that I put on myself. I told you about how I realized that maybe, just maybe, we all put too much pressure on ourselves to be perfect.

And if we’re not perfect, we really give ourselves the crappiest time.

I was hoping you’d relate. And you did. In fact, many of you felt the same way too. Your support helped me to realize that I’m not this major fudge-up (censored for the kiddies, of course); your support helped me to realize that we’re all in this together. So thank you. ❤

But yet, how did the saga end? Did those infamous double chocolate banana muffins ever get made? Did I ever show them who’s really the boss?

Take a look-see. 😉  ‘Cuz… I DID. Oh yeah!! I just pushed my super cool sunglasses up my forehead and crossed my arms over my chest like I was a cool person. As if I even knew what that entailed.

I’m not gonna lie though… I was kinda/really/super seriously nervous about making these babies. I mean, what if I dropped the entire pan, AGAIN? What if I didn’t follow all the tips from the top minds of baking geniuses around the world? What if I didn’t add in enough baking soda in the banana bread recipe or I really should have cranked up the heat super high at the beginning of the batch, then turn it down low towards the end (or something)? What if??

But the recipe was good. I mean, it was really good. Like, domed tops GOOD. These one bowl double chocolate banana muffins are perfectly moist, super chocolatey and taste, for realsies, BETTER than chocolate cake. Yeah, I had to shout that. <–Let me have this, would ya? 😉

Anyway, just as I was worrying and fretting about this recipe, this shoot, and everything else, I was in the middle of summer craziness. There were three birthdays in my family, a wedding, LOTS of travel (think stuffy buses and moist subway stations… ew), literal mountains of coconut chocolate chip vegan ice cream, and two partridges and a pear tree. Like literally.

Except for the last two (or is it three??). *Clears throat*

I was doing the same things again—doing too much, expecting too much, and sleeping too little. Work lasted longer and longer each day. Conversations, bonding time, hugs and all that good stuff became less and less frequent. I picked computer time over family time. I picked work over life.

And that sucked. A LOT.

I started questioning a lot of things that I was doing, and I started making new plans. This time, I’m gonna change. For real. Work less, live more. Spend less time chatting online and more time chatting in person. Take a walk in the morning with Erik, instead of turning the computer on and doing internet stuff til my eyes burn.

Will you join me? I mean, after you’re done reading this post, then pinning it and sharing it to your social media? <—Just. Kidding. 😉  Let’s make some time for meeting a friend at a coffee shop. Or playing catch with the kiddos at the park. How about spending an afternoon baking with Grams? Or maybe even inviting some friends over to  make a batch of healthy lemon poppy seed muffins?

However you do it, let’s do it together. Tell me, what are your favorite IRL activities? Surfing? Knitting? Ooooh, a book club?? I’ve always wanted to be in one! What’s it like?

In the meantime, I’ll tell you all about these one bowl double chocolate banana muffins. Hey, maybe you and Grams can make these this weekend?

  • 3 medium, very ripe bananas (a little over 1 cup)
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar

  3. Add all dry ingredients: oat flour, almond meal, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk together until just incorporated, making sure no flour patches remain. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Pour batter evenly into cupcake liners. Optional: sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the muffins.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
  6. Place the muffin pan on a cooling rack. Allow to cool for about 1 hour. Lift out and enjoy!

    These are fantastic! I used what I had on hand (egg, honey, and light brown sugar) and can honestly say these are the best gluten free, dairy free muffins I have ever made. (Actually, the best muffins I have ever made, period!) I can’t thank you enough for this recipe! They tested and smelled as picture-perfect and amazing as they came out of the oven looking!

    Hi Demeter,

    I’m a big fan of your recipes and blog. I make your chocolate banana muffins regularly but really needed a hit of strong chocolate today and wow, did this do the job! These muffins are AMAZING. I only made one substitution since I didn’t have the ingredient: 1/2 cup brown sugar in place of the maple and coconut sugars. I also added a few tbsp of soy milk to make up for the liquid of the maple syrup. Came together so wonderfully and quickly! I baked it for 29 minutes I think. Rich, chocolately heaven! I’m already looking forward for them to cool down so I can have another one heated up in the microwave, hehe. Thank you for your amazing recipes!!!

    This is by far my favorite muffin recipe! I have made this so many times and never tire of it. These also freeze beautifully!! I was just wondering if you have ever tried replacing the banana with applesauce or another substitute? Bananas are getting hard to find right now! Would love to know if anyone has had success with a substitute. Thank you!!

      Hi Jennifer! You can use any other type of nut or seed meal (like sunflower seed meal or cashew meal). If that’s not possible, you can use more oat flour—just make sure to leave out about 2 tablespoons since oat flour is much drier than almond meal. Enjoy!

    Just saw your recipe on Twitter and I was immediately drawn to these muffins. Gluten free and so prefect looking! These look absolutely delicious. I’ve been experimenting a lot lately with gluten free baking and my first attempt at chocolate banana muffins, while tasty, did not look pretty. I was disappointed cause they didn’t dome up like traditional muffins. But I got over it cause my kids loved them! They wanted to eat them for breakfast and dessert. I’m excited to try your recipe. I’ve actually never used a flax egg. I’ve added flax meal to baking but only for the added nutrients not to replace the egg, but it’s something I’ve wanted to try. Thanks for the recipe!

    These muffins were amazing! We don’t have gluten issues, so I used whole wheat pastry flour in place of the oat flour and almond. The batter seemed stiff, so I added 3 T of natural applesauce. These were dense, moist, and decadent. A new favorite for the whole family.

    Hi Demeter! I just baked these as a dessert snack! I am currently following a more “strict” diet, so I decided to look up the nutritional value per muffin and decided it would be worth sharing. Here are the results per muffin, substituting the flax egg for a real egg:
    198 Calories
    9.8 g Fat (5.1 g Saturated Fat)
    26.9 g Total Carb
    4.2 g Protein

    Overall it is a little high in fat, but there are no trans fat, so it’s not as big of a deal

    This recipe looks just perfect for my 7 year old daughter’s birthday – I have to bake something for school that she can eat (she’s allergic to gluten dairy and eggs). Can I replace oat flour by something safer (gluten free wise) such as rice flour? Or do you recommend a gluten free mixture? I tend to be cautious with oat flour.

      Hi Anne-Marie! I just finished testing a batch with gluten free all-purpose flour subbed in for the oat flour. It worked! The texture was quite different, but more like cake and less moist. I’d recommend a bake time of 20-25 minutes to help the muffins keep their moisture. Hope this helps! Also, please send my birthday wishes to your daughter 🙂

I let mine sit in the fridge more like 15 minutes, until it really formed an egg-like texture…kind of slippery. thank you SO much and I can’t wait to try all your other recipes!

          Hi Salam, I’ve never used oat bran flour before. However, after doing some online research, I’ve found a few bakers who mentioned that oat bran flour and oat flour are interchangeable. Keep in mind they that didn’t try my recipe, so I’m not 100% sure it will work. Best of luck! I can’t wait to hear how it turns out. 🙂

    Thanks. That explaines it. Scoop it is. Yes it has worked with adding a bit of almond milk in the ones I did. But they were way drier than this “batter”. I did use the 1/4 cup oat flour less though. And they turned out great! Thanks. I’ve baked since I was very young, maybe 5, and I’m vegetarian since 34 years. Cooking and eating a lot of vegan food. But this baking vegan is quite new to me so still not feeling “secure” in it. My son’s girlfriend is vegan so it’s a lot of fun to try new vegan recipes out and also converting normal recipes into vegan. Mostly it works out well but sometimes it fails miseably. But I’ve succeded with the Swedish cinnamon buns, which she loves. And she will really like these muffins, being a chocoholic. Looking forward to try more of your recipes. Cheers.

      So funny because I just wrote a new breakfast bars recipe and I included instructions to “pour” the dough into a baking pan. Lol. Let me amend what I said earlier to include an exception for when you basically need to just “dump” all the dough into a pan. 😉 I’m so happy the muffins turned out well! I’ve definitely had (and still have) plenty of vegan baking fails, so just know that we’re all in this together. 🙂 You’re so sweet to bake for her! Can’t wait to hear about what you try next, Pia.

    Hi Demeter,
    Wonder in general. Every time I bake something vegan like muffins, breads or similar, I wonder over the step “pour it”. Mine always become like a dough so will have to scoop in. I have these in the oven right now so haven’t tasted them yet but same thing with these. A sticky dough that can not be poured in any way shape or form. Like a normal eggy version does. There just doesn’t seem to be enough fluid in the recipes. I have added almond milk or similar in other recipes because they didn’t even have enough fluid to become a sticky dough. Where do I go wrong? Pia

      Hi Pia, this is a tough one! So let me answer your questions in order. Pouring: when I make these muffins, I get a thick batter. It’s not thick enough to be dough, but it is thick enough to scoop. I guess this is more a question of lingo, meaning–in baking, we usually scoop dough and pour batter, no matter how thick. So when you have a cookie recipe, you’re going to be instructed to scoop the dough. When you have a muffin or cake recipe, you’ll be instructed to pour it, likely no matter how thick or liquidy it is. Also, it could just be that your ingredients are on the drier side. Have you had success with adding in that extra bit of almond milk? If so, you should continue to do this.

      General baking: a lot of factors can contribute to this. For example, it can be a regional difference. I’ve noticed that ingredients are one way on the East Coast of the United States, and another way in California. When the regions are further apart, for example, the US vs. UK, the differences in ingredients are even greater. So this could lead to variations in the recipe. Other considerations include differences in kitchen equipment, altitude, temperature and so on. It’s best to try a recipe, play around with the measurements, just a bit, and find recipes that tend to work for your kitchen, ingredients and region. I hope this helps, Pia. 🙂 Fingers crossed that your muffins turned out delicious. 🙂

    Yeah, I feel the same! I totally understand you. I work all day, weekends too, and I spend too much time online. Until my eyes burn <– exactly, Demeter. I do run, and that relaxes me. But, yes we all need more time offline and more real life moments. Thanks for reminding me :* I'm with you friend. Let's make a change 😉

    Ok, and now I need these perfect choco banana muffins 🙂

    It’s high time we had the muffin talk. I can’t believe you don’t know this about me already. How has this not come up yet? In between unicorns and saxophones you’d think we could’ve squeezed a little muffin chatter in there. Well the thing is I LOVE MUFFINSSSSSSS!!! Yep, so much that they deserve the shout, long S, and 3 exclamations! That’s a lot of love? These particular little guys are not just domed top good (the ultimate measure of a muffin, I agree) the are domed-top perfect! And holy fudgey gooey guacamole…ewwww bad thought, bad thought…make that holy fudgey gooey muffin-ole THAT INSIDE!!? That’s kinda the cool thing about baking, we can “share” our recipes online but we can only truly share the muffins themselves with real life non-internet humans?

    Girl. . .you are so speaking my language. Every darn day feels like the day to throw in the towel, to give up and move onto something else. . .but something keeps us moving forward. . .striving to be better and find a sense of peace which btw always seems to be toying just at our fingertips. But you know what, it’s okay to strive to grow and better ourselves. . .but it is not okay to do this at the sacrifice of balance. It really is important to find a hobby that gives you joy and makes you feel good deep inside. I guess for me. . .exercise does this and I have started to get back into weight training. . .not the hard core kind that I used to do (you know the unhealthy, carb deprived, workout 6 hours a day kind) but the kind that makes me feel that I am doing something good for myself. You need to find that and, in the beginning, force yourself to set aside time to enjoy that activity. Before you know it. . .it will become second nature to you and you won’t even think twice the you are not devoting that time slaving over the computer. Oh. . .and while you are doing that hobby. . .be sure you have a couple of these muffins close by. I know I will be curling a couple in between my sets. 😉

    I am totally on board with being on the computer less, which is why I’ve stepped away from my blog and only posting once every two weeks. Summer and the sunny warm weather is so short in New England and I promised myself to enjoy it to the fullest this year. Personally I think I’m doing a great job as a slacker. lol! I won’t be slacking on making these muffins because (duh) they are double chocolate!!! WOOOHOOO! I love double chocolate (well you know that!) and if I can eat double chocolate muffins for breakfast then I’m all in! Plus these are healthy so I won’t feel guilty if I eat the whole batch in one sitting. heeheeheehee 🙂

    Loreto and I we made 22 little jars of pesto last Saturday with his mom and dad, those times are to treasure! Sometimes I too spend a lot of time “socializing” on the computer and not much in real life, so I am forcing to change. So glad that after you put your sunglasses up your forehead and crossed your arms over your chest, you baked these amazing little chocolate gems. They look fabulous and I bet taste super delicious! have a great week, my friend!

But yeah, GF can be particularly difficult… Thank you for your assurances and for your sweet disposition. Happy Monday, my friend! xoxo
