Maple Pecan Banana Muffins
Although I don’t live a dedicated vegan lifestyle, I do LOVE vegan baking. In the past month I’ve shared with you my favorite morning glory muffins, tropical banana bread, and the most wonderful chocolate chip cookies… all of which just happen to be vegan. ← But by taste, you would never even know it. They’re all so perfectly delicious!!!
Today I bring you a new vegan recipe to rock your world: Maple Pecan Banana Muffins. Yes, indeed. I’m on a roll!

Today I bring you a new vegan recipe to rock your world: Maple Pecan Banana Muffins. Yes, indeed. I’m on a roll!
But less about me, more about this maple pecan muffins recipe! They’re sweet, fluffy, moist, and bursting with maple banana flavor. A hearty handful of chopped pecans add a pleasant crunch. I topped each muffin with extra pecans and turbinado sugar, which adds sparkle and crunch. Sparkle and crunch always get my vote!
Madison, my youngest LOVES banana muffins, so whenever I have ripe bananas on my counter I always like to bake a batch for her. Whatever we don’t eat that day is usually her breakfast the next day. In my house, these go pretty quick, but if you live alone, you can individually wrap them in plastic wrap and freeze them for a later day, then pop them in the microwave – they taste just like you first baked them.

*Note- you can leave the pecans off but they will still be 3SP, perhaps top them with a few mini chocolate chips if you can't have nuts.
