Can I use a different nut butter instead of almond butter?

Yes, you can substitute other creamy nut butters like cashew or peanut butter, but it may slightly alter the flavor profile of these banana pecan muffins.

What makes these muffins gluten-free and vegan?

These muffins are gluten-free due to the use of almond and coconut flours, and vegan as they contain no animal products, relying on non-dairy milk, mashed bananas, and plant-based oils.

How ripe should the bananas be for this recipe?

For the best flavor and moisture in these banana pecan muffins, use medium, ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots, as they are sweeter and easier to mash.

Can I add other mix-ins to these muffins?

While this recipe features walnuts, you could experiment with other additions like chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or a sprinkle of shredded coconut, adjusting the total quantity to maintain batter consistency.

How should I store leftover Gluten-Free Banana Pecan Muffins?

Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage.

How to Prepare Gluten-Free Banana Pecan Muffins [Vegan]

Preheat the oven to 350°F degrees. Line a muffin tin with liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
To a small bowl, combine milk and apple cider vinegar. Let sit for 5 min. Mash bananas in a large bowl, add in milk mixture, almond butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla. Whisk until combined. Add flours, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir until a thick batter forms. Fold in the chopped walnuts.
Use a small cookie scoop to evenly divide batter among the muffin liners. Bake for 22-25 until tops are light golden brown. Let cool for 8 min. before serving.
