These moist and fluffy vegan banana blueberry oatmeal muffins are super easy to make and come together in one bowl. They're gluten-free, whole-grain, and oil-free!

I've still got the sacrificial banana problem going on (#bananahoarder), so here's another super easy recipe I created to use up that last brown spotty banana (or two).
If you have more bananas you need to use up, you could also make and freeze these banana chocolate chip cookies. And if you want blueberry muffins without bananas, these bakery-style blueberry muffins will hit the spot. 🙂

Recipe Steps
Preheat your oven and line your muffin tin with papers. Mash your bananas.


Stir in the coconut sugar, plant milk, ground flax seeds, molasses, and vanilla extract.


Add the dry ingredients and mix the batter well.


Rinse the blueberries and gently fold them into the batter.


Scoop the batter into the lined muffin tin.

Sprinkle the tops with additional blueberries, oats, and coconut sugar.



Bake the muffins until they pass the toothpick test.

Let them cool, then unwrap a muffin and enjoy!

Substitutions and Variations
Here are some ideas for substitutions and variations you can try.
- Berries - I think any berry would work well in place of the blueberries, but I imagine halved blackberries or chopped strawberries would be extra delicious
- Oat flour - use an all-purpose gluten-free flour blend, whole wheat pastry flour, or even plain old all-purpose flour in its place
- Almond flour - for a nut-free version, use sunflower seed flour or more oat flour in its place
FAQs
Yes! These muffins freeze well. To do this, let them cool completely and place them on a small baking sheet. Put the baking sheet in the freezer just until the muffins are frozen solid. Place the frozen muffins in a freezer bag and remove as much air as possible before closing the bag. You can also use a vacuum sealer (I love mine!). (Make sure the muffins are frozen TOTALLY solid before using a vacuum sealer or it will smoosh them!)
Frozen muffins can be reheated in a muffin tin in a preheated 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes, allowing the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before handling them. Thawed muffins can be reheated in a muffin tin in a preheated 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes, allowing the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before handling them. Thawed muffins can also be reheated in the microwave in 10 second increments. These muffins can get a bit crumbly after they’re reheated, but they’re still delicious.
