Main ingredients and substitutions

I love the combination of blueberries and bananas. Either fresh or frozen blueberries is fine. You can swap the blueberries for any other kind of berry you prefer.

Be sure to use very ripe bananas in these muffins to achieve an optimal level of sweetness. Or if you prefer them less sweet then you can use bananas that aren’t quite as ripe.

These vegan blueberry banana muffins can be made with whole wheat flour or spelt flour (or you can substitute all purpose flour if you prefer.

Almond butter acts as a binder in this recipe. You can substitute any other type of nut butter you prefer. Or for a nut-free version of these muffins you can substitute pumpkin seed butter or sunflower seed butter.

These muffins are lightly sweetened with coconut sugar. Coconut sugar is available at many grocery stores and health food stores these days (or you can purchase it online).

How to make them

Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Next you’ll add the whole wheat flour or spelt flour and baking powder to a mixing bowl, then mix well.
