    Tips on Making Vegan Banana Chocolate Muffins:

    • Do not overmix the batter. Just make sure everything is well incorporated and no lumps are formed from the wet ingredients. Overmixing the batter will make the muffin hard.
    • You can make this into a banana bread instead of muffins. Just use a nonstick loaf pan and bake it!
    • If you don’t have regular brown sugar, you can use coconut sugar instead. It has a light sweetness and it’s so natural and organic.
    • Always use overripe bananas when making muffin recipes like this. Overripe bananas will make the muffins or bread sweeter and it’s more aromatic.
    • Use muffin liners if you do not have nonstick muffin pans.
