Can you freeze banana muffins?

How do you make these even healthier?

There are a few more swaps you can make to make these muffins even healthier! Flour: This recipe calls for half all-purpose flour, but you can easily sub that 1:1 for more white whole wheat flour. The batter might get a little thick, so feel free to up the almond milk a little bit. It should be a little thinner than pancake batter. Oil: While this recipe calls for only 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, you can likely just omit altogether. Sugar: Try using coconut sugar 1:1 instead of brown sugar for a refined sugar-free option.

Can you make these vegan?

Since these muffins contain eggs, they are not considered vegan. We suggest following our Vegan Banana Bread recipe and making muffins with the batter instead of a loaf.
