One-Bowl Double Chocolate Banana Muffins

amazing! loved it but if the bananas are really ripe you shouöd add less sugar than in the recepie

Came out delicious, it formed a delicious crispy exterior and was soft inside. Mine were not as dark as yours and I had to add some milk for the right consistency

Me and my little one love these!
I was just wondering if I am doing something wrong with the baking soda… It tastes very salty (I do have it in other recipes as well with baking soda). Any advice? :)

PUL Team - March 26, 2025, 9:30 p.m.

So glad you and your little one love these vegan chocolate muffins, Julie! That salty taste from the baking soda is a bit odd though. If you're noticing it in other recipes too, I wonder if it could be how the baking soda is being measured. We loosely spoon it onto the measuring spoon and level it off with the back of a knife so it’s not too compact and not heaping either. Another thing that can help is mixing it thoroughly into the wet ingredients before adding the flour. If there are little pockets of baking soda that don't get evenly distributed, they can definitely taste salty. Hope that helps for now 💛

Sooo soft and sooo goood 😍 10/10 as alway PUL team!!!

Amazing recipe ! My muffins are really soft and airy with a rich chocolate taste. I put 20g of sugar less and 20g apple sauce more. Thank you :)

These are incredible! I made a few modifications and it still came out perfectly.
- added 1 egg in addition to flax
- blended the bananas
- 175g bobs mill whole wheat flour
- 58g coconut sugar (and I will probably try even less sugar next time!)

Perfection! 😍

So much chocolat, so wonderful

Fantastic, even without sugar! Thank you Sadia 🫶

Muffins used to be the only recipe I could whip up from memory any time, in any flavour, and always succeed, but then we went plantbased and no recipe ever hit the spot quite the same for years - until I tried this one. Moist, tasty, cannot stop eating them fresh out of the oven. Another gem from PUL!

Thank you so much for the kind words, friend! We're thrilled the vegan double chocolate muffin recipe hit the spot after your plant-based transition Happy baking 🤗

Really tasty moist muffins. I used a vegetable oil and half cup of sugar. They still came out well and judging by what's left, obviously a hit. I keep ripe bananas in the freezer just for this reason.

Delicious and easy to make (quick, too!). Shared with friends and they all raved!

loved these, but put a bit more chocolate in. didn’t have apple sauce, subbed for soja jogurt 😋

Made a batch with 50% less sugar for my daughter’s birthday party. ALL KIDS AND ADULTS LOVE THEM!

I really enjoyed these muffins, they're the perfect sweet treat. The chocolate complements the banana. I froze them and reheated in the air fryer. They would get crispy around the edges and maintain their fluffiness on the inside.

These are very easy to make and very very good. Swapped out the apple sauce for yogurt (didn’t have apple sauce) and added a little bit of runny peanut butter to the mix and they were awesome!

Hello i wonder do we really have to add granulated sugar? I’m on diet now and with my thyroid I try to eat less sugar. Also does the gluten free flour works ? Thank you in advance

PUL Team - July 3, 2024, 1:10 a.m.

Hi Jess, you could reduce the amount of granulated sugar or explore alternative sweeteners like coconut sugar if you'd like. For gluten-free flour, a mix of gluten-free types of flour usually works better than using just one gluten-free flour on its own. We often hear positive reviews with Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 gluten-free flour but we haven't experimented with it in this recipe. In case you're interested, our banana tahini muffins are gluten-free, don't use granulated sugar, and are one of our favourite alternatives if you're using the app: https://www.pickuplimes.com/r… 🤩

This was the easiest thing to make! And a great snack for the kids! We gave this a try at night, hoping it wouldn’t take too long, and were delighted by the results!

Always a staple for me. Love the ability to make treats and control the level of sweetness and make from scratch vs store bought or highly processed. 🥰🙌

Hi Sadia, what can I use instead of applesauce in this receipie?

PUL Team - May 31, 2024, 3:20 p.m.

Hey Vaishali, we've heard positive reviews for extra mashed banana, sweet potato, and unsweetened soy-based yogurt in place of applesauce. Another pureed fruit or silken tofu may also work 🤗

Vaishali Doshi - June 1, 2024, 12:23 p.m.

Thank you 😊

Alexis - Sept. 24, 2024, 3:36 a.m.

Hi Vaishali! I have used pumpkin puree in previous baking recipes and I’m going to try it tonight in this recipe. I don’t normally have applesauce on hand but I have some homemade pumpkin puree in the freezer and I just have to defrost it. It has worked well in multiple other recipes. Happy baking! 😁

Vaishali Doshi - March 11, 2025, 11:55 a.m.

We love these muffins, but would love a healthier option with the same flavor. Would it taste similar if we used rolled oats or oat flour instead?

PUL Team - May 19, 2024, 3:49 p.m.

Hey Celest, so glad to hear you're enjoying these muffins! It's hard to say about the swap without testing it ourselves, as oats are not a one-for-one substitute for all-purpose flour. Oats absorb more liquid, which might make the muffins too gummy or too dry. With that said, I'll welcome you to try our One-bowl Oatmeal Blueberry Muffin recipe which uses oat flour exclusively :)

Reply

These were delicious!

I used 2/3 of the sugar (half a cup in 12 muffin portion). They turned out plenty sweet and fluffy and moist. They rose well too. 🧁

I love these! I recommend sifting the coco powder. Maybe everyone already knows that??

Hey how many flax egg is this equal in eggs in real life??

PUL Team - April 17, 2024, 6:46 a.m.

Hey Susie, 1 flax egg can usually be used to replace 1 egg.

Reply

These are really delicious. Thanks for this recipe.

This is one of my comfort dessert for my work lunches. I make them again and again and again. They are just sooooo good!

I saw another comment that said if you are using a very ripe banana use less sugar, so I did. Even with one banana it is very sweet. I don't have flax seeds so I used chia and it turned out fine. My toaster oven doesn't have 375 so I baked at 400f for 20 mins. These are very filling and delicious snack. Next time I make these I will make sure I mash the banana first before adding the chia egg as it was harder to do lol.

Just popping in to leave 5 stars. I made these muffins several times now and they're always a hit!

My Favorit, made them many times. Watch out for very ripe Bananas, if there not totally yellow then the banana is sweeter, put less sugar, if not it’s sweeter

Great muffins! Easy to follow along and great snack.

Loved them!!

Absolutely delicious muffins! They seem to be even better the next day after setting in an airtight container over night.

These are so good! I made them with whole wheat flour and used 1 egg instead of an apple purée, ‼️‼️definitely use LESS sugar since there's lot of natural sweetness from bananas in the recipe

These are so good! I just made them for the first time, the only thing I did differently was using margarine instead of the coconut oil, and I didn't add chocolate pieces too. They had to bake for about 25 minutes, but they turned out really moist and perfect!!! Ty PUL for making vegan sweets taste like this!

I used one egg instead of flaxseed and it is still perfect and delicious 🤩

Made these this morning they were really moist and good just too sweet.. think next time would do less sugar or would honey or agave syrup work? Also wondered about using wheat flour

PUL Team - Sept. 24, 2023, 10:08 p.m.

Hey Melinda, we've heard positive reviews with less sugar such as 1/2 cup. We haven't tried it with syrup or whole wheat flour so we can't say with certainty. Do let us know if you experiment with it!

Surprisingly light and fluffy. Such a good muffin recipe.

Absolutely love that recipe 😍 so nice for breakfast, snack and dessert !
I replaced the all-purpose flour by 1 t. Spelled flour + 1/2 t. Almond flour. That took 35 min cooking but was delicious!
Would you have a gluten-free version to suggest?

Hey Alice! We've heard positive reviews for mashed banana or sweet potato in place of applesauce and you can use unsalted vegan butter or unsalted margarine in place of coconut oil.

Super yummy! I used almost fully brown bananas, and the muffins were very very sweet. I also swapped the white flour for WW and it was great! Next time I’ll add 1/4 cup more cocoa, and 1/4 cup less flour. I’ll also probably reduce the amount of sugar next time. Thanks for a great recipe!

I’ve made these twice in 2 days if that says anything 😂 We offered some from the first batch to our neighbor and she loved them so much that she asked if she could have more for her dinner guests! So we gave her the rest and whipped up more today 🤗

Hey Tanvi, we haven't tested it out so we can't say with certainty. My instinct says more mashed banana might do, but the taste and texture would definitely be different. Do let us know if you experiment with the muffins though 🤗

This is a family hit! We don't make them fully vegan (use semi-sweet chocolate chips) and sometimes an egg if we don't have applesauce on hand. But they are a great way to use up our extra ripe bananas when we want a chocolatey treat instead of banana bread. I love that it gets all mixed up in one bowl for less dishes and its easy enough that my kids love to help out.

These are def a treat like a cupcake :) I didnt have 3 bananas, so I subbed about 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree. I also added a bit of water since my batter was dry. These are super easy and tasty. Nuke for 15 seconds, and they are just perfect! They are extremely banana-y, so even with 2 bananas, the flavor of the chocolate was just slight. I would experiment with more pumpkin and less banana next time to make these a tad less sweet and banana-forward.

Ooo thank you for sharing your experience with the muffins, Sheila! It's so appreciated. Avoiding overly ripe bananas can also help to avoid an overpowering banana taste 🤗

Wish there wasn't as much white flour in this recipe. 😌

Superb recipe

If I don’t have ground flaxseed, can I use whole flaxseeds instead? If not, what are good substitutes?

PUL Team - Nov. 1, 2022, 6:30 a.m.

Hey there, Sharon, the ground flaxseeds form a gel when combined with water that helps the muffins stick together. Whole flaxseeds won't form this gel because of their outer layer so we wouldn't recommend using them. If you have access to a high-power blender or coffee grinder, you could grind the whole flaxseeds into a powder. Alternatively, you can substitute the ground flaxseeds with another ground seed, such as ground chia seeds 🙂

I tried making muffins but they always end up uncooked in the middle. The outside bakes to the point of burning whilst the inside is hollow. I use a oven like air fryer.
I omitted the oil and sugar, just ajustes the recipe to my dietary requirements.
What am I doing wrong?
I thought it was the tins but when I used ceramic ones the same thing happened.
Am I overloading the fryer? Does the expiration of baking powder matter?
Thank you

PUL Team - Sept. 25, 2022, 1:46 a.m.

Hey there, Ags, thanks for taking the time to share. If the outside is overbaked and the inside is underbaked we suspect the oven temperature is too high. This could cause the outside to crisp up too much without enough time for the inside to cook. We hope this helps for now 😊

Reply

Very tasty! And goo-y!
When I baked them 15 minutes , took them out of the oven and let them cool down and got the cakes out of their siliconmuffinshapes, the bottoms were very soggy, some parts even stuck to the bottom of the muffintin.
Did I grease the tins too much?
I ended up flipping the cakes upside down and baked them for another 15 minutes, which helped but the tops on the bottom got a bit dark.
Any tips?

PUL Team - Sept. 19, 2022, 6:15 p.m.

Hey there, Salome, not enough baking time or not removing baked muffins from the tin to cool can promote a soggy bottom. For baking, the muffins may take longer than 15 minutes to bake depending on your oven. We'd recommend baking until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

For cooling, did the muffins cool in the tin or on a cooling rack? When muffins cool too long in the tin, it can promote a soggier texture if the steam can't escape. We can let the muffins cool slightly before transferring them to a cooling rack to avoid this. We hope this helps for now and so glad the muffins were still enjoyed 🤗

I used 2/3 of the sugar suggested and it was still good! I would say I used chocolate that was too dark so it made the muffins bitter. But otherwise a really good vegan chocolate banana muffin recipe.

Leila - Nov. 1, 2022, 4:45 a.m.

That's the magic of PUL's recipe! Since we are already using so many substitutes (apple sauce, banana), the texture probably isn't as fluffy as a traditional muffin, but I prefer moist and less sugary muffins with chocolate. To me, vegan cooking/baking is not about replicating a traditional recipe, but to embrace new flavors and texture.

I made one substitute and reduced the amount; I used a melted butter instead of an oil and they were perfect! Moist, chocolatey, gooey, and fluffy. Smelled fabulous. The banana undertone (used two since that's all I had) was wonderful. Next time, I'll try the coconut oil :)
Taking them to work for a coworker's bday! So thankful and excited! :)

Just a fun anecdote: While having a lovely conversation with a grocery attendant about a few ingredients I was looking for, we touched based on tahini and what one could do with it. I've been using it in overnight oats going on three weeks now and with a few other dishes. I showed her my favorite brand and typed in 'tahini' in the search bar of the PUL website and she was blown away by the beauty of it all! I scrolled up and down and showed her the feature of the recipe scale, filter features, and the photos!! She was captivated by it all that she told me to stop! HA! This was after she had told me how hard it was to keep her paycheck since she works at a fun grocery store.

Even though I don't make them fully vegan, double up on the cocoa and use less sugar (I think the bananas are sweet enough to just use 100g sugar), this is my favourite muffin recipe. They are ALWAYS a hit with everyone; people especially comment on the texture which is moist and fluffy. Even my slightly critical Dad asked me to send him the recipe. :)

I usually don't love chocolate-banana anything but I'd be lying if I said I haven't eaten several of these when I got peckish... They're simply divine.

oOo I might have to tweak mine kind of like yours, PUL friend. :) I also make mine with a blend of both worlds.

These are amazing!! So chocolatey and rich!

I tried this recipe for a party. Everyone liked it!

This recipe is amazing, super tasty! I made it as a cake instead of muffins, 30 minutes in the oven and it's ready, super rich and moist. Thank you!

These are the most AMAZING chocolate muffins, enjoyed by kids and non-vegans alike (not that I'd want to share)! 🤤

Delicious! My kids loved them!

Thank you so much for these recipes and for all that you do! Your videos are a major reason into why I adapted a Vegan lifestyle and eating amazing wholesome foods.😊

A truly awesome muffin recipe! My Toddler loves these but I want to adapt the recipe to make mini muffins instead. What would be your suggestions? Thank you.

Hi Gunja! We're so happy to hear. Halving the recipe and using a mini muffin pan may be the easiest way. We'd suggest cutting down the baking time, perhaps to ~7 mins. Using a toothpick or fork may be helpful to know when they're ready as the baking time will be less 😀

Thank you! Will give it a shot!

Hi PUL! I'm trying to create healthy snacks for my kids to avoid giving them snacks with preservatives in them. So THANK YOU so much for this muffin recipe! What "grease" did you use to grease the muffin tin in the video? and was that regular paper napkin that you used to grease it? Is your muffin tin a non-stick one? If not, what type is it?

PUL Team - April 7, 2021, 6:29 a.m.

Hey there! A vegetable oil would work for greasing the muffin tin. A regular napkin as shown in the video works well for helping to evenly spread the oil. Alternatively, a reusable napkin, pastry brush, or muffin tin liner would work. The muffin tin we use can be found at https://amzn.to/35oLjj3. We hope this helps and happy baking 😀

I fully suscribe! How come I had never tried these before? I am already a big fan of your double chocolate chip cookies and cowboy cookies. I prepared batches of them for my kids’ birthday parties and they impress children and adults alike. Thank you very much for your wonderful recipes!

Watching your videos on plant care have also been a true inspiration to me (I tend to over love even my cacti!) and I am now the proud owner of a beautifully delicate string of hearts and a small zz plant, and have propagated my monstera based on your advice. Much love

Aww this is so wonderful to hear, Roxana, thank you so much! We're so glad that you're enjoying PUL recipes and plant care videos 😃 A huge congrats on the success with your plants as well ✨
