They're both nuts. The videos he does with Krystal, they are positively giddy. Charming and refreshing. If I'm in a down mood (say, 2 hours til my eating window for IF) watching him perks me up.
I just made your recipe with a few alterations ... I used 1 1/2 cups of oat flour and 1 1/2 cups of almond meal. I added walnuts as the main nut and used a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla essence as the spices. Thank you so much for posting, they are one of the best muffins I’ve ever made xxx
I always remember it this way... baking powder puffs up the cake, baking soda spreads your cake. Powder Puffs, Soda Spreads! Im trying this recipe right now. thanks man!
I appreciate you taking the time to write the recipe in the description. It was really cool you showed the nutritional content in the video as well. Thank you. Well done!
Love your videos have been watching for a while. Thought I’d give some of this a try... well it’s 5+ months later I am about 80% vegan and shooting for 100%. I dropped 70lbs and power walk 5 miles a day. I haven’t felt this good in many years. Your videos are amazing keep up the great work, God bless.
@@duboneforme9591 and it's people like you that make people nit want to go vegan or even try and who make me lose faith in the world. And yes, there is such a thing as that. It means, 80% of your time throughout he months, you eat all plants. The other 20% has animal products in it. You knew exactly what he meant. You just wanted to be a twat.
Really great tasting muffins! I used coconut milk instead of almond milk to make them nut-free (& pumpkin seeds instead of nuts). I also used 2 organic bananas + 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (instead of 3 bananas). I made them with chocolate chips - obviously! Excellent texture & taste - nobody would know they're vegan & gluten-free. Thanks for this recipe, Derek - I enjoy your videos & your energy :)
And years later, here I am still making your recipe time and time again. I cannot thank you enough for such an easy, quick, healthy muffin recipe. They always turn out amazing ❤️
@ I have not tried apple but what a nice option! I feel as though it would work as long as the apple purée to banana purée ratios are equivalent. Also worth keeping in mind sweetness levels. If you do make that swap, would you be kind enough to share your feedback? I am intrigued. Have fun!
Thank you for this video. I made this today but didnt have cupcake trays so I made banana bread instead. 350° for about an hour. It came out delicious, thank you for this video
Just found this recipe and made them today in the silicon muffin pan and they are by far the best healthy muffins I have ever made ... and believe me I have tried dozens of different recipes. Thank you
The problem with you Derek is that you are so contagiously positive and so sweet that I can't stop binging your videos and it makes me feel like a stalker 🤣😂 Much love to you, Crystal and Coco. ❤️
Have made these 3 times in 2 days and we love these muffins! I used vanilla oat milk as I am allergic to most nut milks and they turned out great. Also love watching your inspiring simple meal ideas. Also love how you offer so many ways to alter how you do things. Thank you so much.
Just made these! Through in pistachio nuts, walnuts, sun flower seeds, goji berries, raisins, and hemp hearts. Plus I used the flax seed in the recipe like you said. they came out so very, very good! I am a nurse an work 12 hour shifts. don't often have time for a "formal" meal time . This is the perfect grab and go item to keep me going for hours!! Thanks so much!
Chocolate in the morning is Great, I make a great triple chocolate oatmeal, cocoa powder, dark chocolate with next to no sweetener, and peanut butter that has cocoa as wel.. so delicious.
I like your style. You told where you are from but then got right down to the recipe without endless chatter like so many others do. Your ingredients were already measure and well displayed. That will make it super easy when I replay the video to create,this,recipe myself. I really like the macro breakdown at the end too etc.
Love How quick and easy these are! And yet they’re healthy too. This is so amazing since I’m a student and this is so easy to make ahead and then just grab one to go with lunch. Love vids like these. Quick, easy, make ahead and healthy so it’s just fine to eat on an everyday basis. Not like a sugar loaded Müslibar. Sustainable. BIG LIKE FROM HERE
This muffin recipe is great! Made a batch today, half choc chip, half blueberry, and even though I didn’t have everything listed, i substituted a couple ingredients, and they came out perfectly! Baking isn’t a particular skill of mine lol so I am very happy at how these turned out! Thanks Derek - I am really loving the recipes on your channel atm and am trying lots of things I haven’t made before, things I feel Ive missed eating since becoming vegan. Your healthy, vegan versions are super easy to make and most importantly taste amazing! It’s been hard to find vegan versions of my favourite treats in stores near me, so I’ve had to go without, but thanks to you I now have a kitchen full (and a belly full!) of all the goodies I love 😋👍🏼💚🐷🍪🧁🍌😍 yum!
Just made these this afternoon and they're fantastic. Love all the contents in them, especially the chocolate chips. And they're "all day' muffins in my world. Doesn't have to be breakfast for these little wonders. Thanks for all you amazing recipes and information. Love your videos!
Don't delay! Make these TODAY! Sadly, this recipe has been on my "to make" list for well over a year. The list of recipes I want to try is always too long but Derek's recipes never disappoint and these little muffins were so darned good, I've already eaten 3! I added 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips and 2 Tbs maple syrup. I love that's it's one of those flexible recipes that we can play with the ingredients so I can't wait to test with coconut flakes, blueberries and a variety of nuts, seeds and dry fruit. It's like granola in a muffin. The house smells divine and I'm thrilled to have these absolutely perfect little treats! Thank you!!! 😘
I have made several types of these muffins out of oats by just blending old fashioned GF oats in my blender. If some oat flakes remain it's no problem at all. I have to say, I do not like chocolate chips in any of them nor do I care for seeds but, I have added applesauce, blueberries, dried cranberries, walnuts, flaked almonds, diced apples and of course very ripe bananas. It's one of my go to recipes for breakfast. I always add the lemon juice directly to the liquid ingredients because, that was traditionally how I was taught.
@@brendaf3132 I'm with you! I've made them so many times and now avoid the choc chips just because I'd rather have natural fats of nuts or shredded coconuts. I like making them in mini muffin silicone molds (they pop right out) and I keep them stored in the freezer so they're always on hand.
I taught myself how to make a vegan butter. Take a 1/4 cup of walnuts, add warm water and blend. It makes a smooth paste that acts very much like butter but is vegan and WFPBNO
Replace bananas with a combination of steamed (I have a pressure cooker - 5 min for super-soft pumpkin) sweet potato and pumpkin (butternut squash or other dense varieties are super!), add more dates for sweetness - Hmmm!!! Terrific!!! Thanks for the great video!!!
Just made these muffins for the third time and I’m so excited to eat them! They’re nice and filling, and so simple and quick to make. I love having some for breakfast! Thanks again for all of your videos!
These are the ingredients that I created for my son’s pancakes. I use more milk, vanilla and menus the baking soda. He loves them. Thanks for the information!
What a great recipe. I made these with walnuts and raisins. They turned out great. I can eat muffins again without eggs and dairy hurray! Thank you Friend.
Thank you Dereck and Crystal you are such an inspiration for the vegan family just made these today and added 1/2 cup maple syrup and 1/3 cup olive oil and pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon 1/2 tbsp each came out super moist and delicious
Yes for vanilla AND definitely unsweetened shredded coconut😍. I have it 5 - 6 days a week 2 daily. I do change some of the ingredients often or add things like ginger powder, other spices or dry fruits, maple syrup or local honey, carrots, apples, the options are endless. It's delicious, healthy and we know what's in it and how and who made!
1 year Vegan on October 1st. Posted my fastest 5k, 10k, 10 mile and half marathon times since making the switch. Going for my first sub 4hr Marathon tomorrow. You got me started Derek and keep me going. Love the food idea videos for sure. Thanks a bunch from Westhampton, New York.
U inspired me to make improv muffins. Just blended up apples, sweet potatoes, maple syrup water lemon and vanilla extract for wet, and your stuff for the dry. Added nuts and cranberries. Didnt measure anything except the oats and baking soda/powder. Turned out great!
These have been absolutely delicious. This is the second attempt and making them and I used unsweetened cacao instead of chocolate and they still turned out great. The Recipe Rocks! I also used no sodium baking powder and compensated by adding a little vinegar and the lemon juice.
Omg i can not wait to try these! I have a paralyzing disease an im trying get healthy again because i was back on the road to a complete healing an i messed up an stopped. J wont stop again an u r gonna b my biggest help. Thank u so much!
Tried this today as I got fed up eating expensive protein bars. WOW! They turned out brilliant, the only addition I made was added 40g worth of protein whey banana flavour powder. Thank you for the the recipe!!!! Next time I will split out the final mixture into separate bowls and then make different varieties (ie pumpkin seeds etc, another with blueberries, another with cherries and coconut etc etc).
*Simnett Nutrition* Question for your next Ask Me Mondays video... Derek, do you think you would've had the same success in gaining muscle mass if you DIDN'T start using the Vivo life protein powder in every smoothie bowl? I know there's a much more concentrated source of amino acids in those protein powders but it's almost like the food we eat only contributes to the energy production rather than muscle recovery/gains? But do you think you could've made those same gains without using Vivo life? Thanks from Australia! :)
Simnett Nutrition your cookie recipe can be used to make oat bars similar to clif bars. Instead of making a cookie shape, you shape them in a bar shape lol, love your videos, I’d love to see more in the future, maybe a new series?!?!?
I’m a long time Baker, and here’s a tip for a quick breads like muffins and banana net bread: the less you work the Dell the better. The lemon juice should go in when you put the other liquid in edger dry ingredients on top of that and then mix once. Your muffins look amazing by the way!
You’re killing it in the kitchen! Your videos help a lot of people to see that living a whole food plant based lifestyle can work amazing even as an active person who puts healthy stress workouts on the menu. I’m starting to prep for a half marathon and more and I often reference this channel. Those muffins will do a lot for the long runs without the crazy crashes from eating processed foods/sugars. Thanks again for giving hope to us 40+ active people!
I believe the science behind the bigger rise for chocolate chip muffins are the fats from the chocolate. Think of puff pastry. What makes it puffy is the butter (vegan, of course!) between the layers of dough. :)
Making some food for a 2-day trip and these muffins look perfect for the road. It's not easy staying WFPB while traveling, so these muffins will be a great alternative to the hotel breakfasts.
Have you tried using other flours such as buckwheat and almond flour? I don’t have the chocolate bits. Can I use cocoa powder? If so how much of it? Merci from Quèbec 🇨🇦
I bake often as a vegan with celiac disease. Great recipe btw. Can’t wait to try it. Have told lots of ppl about ur channel.💚 You got a nice rise knows because he used both baking soda and baking powder. Good idea.
Great recipe, so going to bake this!! The only con would be that Silk almond milk has unhealthy gums and additives. I'd recommend either homemade or bought mlik with just the water, nuts, and/or salt if possible (Whole Foods carry this). Hope y'all enjoying this! So excited to try!
Can’t wait to try them! I already make the 2-3 ingredients oatmeal banana cookies and they’re super delicious, so these will be great! Thanks for the recipe, Derek.
These are so good. I stumbled across this video in my RUclips feed yesterday evening. These sounded so good that I decided I had to make them. I got everything ready before bed I work really odd hours. So I was up at 2:30 AM and got these started before work. I added pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, Goji berries, raisins, raw walnuts and raw cashews about 1/8 cup each and only 1/8 cup dark chocolate chips After all they do have antioxidants in them so why not. I unfortunately had no lemon juice so I used lime juice and these turned out really, really good. So I liked your page and am now following you. I am looking forward to doing a binge on all of your videos thank you for sharing 😊
My Coworkers are the same way! They're always counting their carbs! But they do a lot of calisthenics and not the weighted stuff. They said that because of that they don't do a lot of carbs so it hits their fat reserves? I was like Idk about that for sure, but okay.(Maybe with fasting but??? We have amazing people like Simnett who is ripped and so like it makes it hard for me to think counting carbs is ever a good idea)
As funny as I think Vegan Gains can be (even though sometimes he goes way too far and it's just awkward) these channels are the kind that will actually get people really considering plant based eating as well as veganism, I was vegan in the past for just under a year when I was 17 but my parents found it hard to sustain that as they buy the food, now I'm 19 and planning on going vegan or 90% plant based as soon as I move out after college, you don't spread fake bs saying veganism purifies you, it's can be a healthier way to live and is just ethical and most importantly, sustainable for the future, keep doing what you're doing.
Literally just stopped what I was doing to use up my ripe bananas to make this! I made and used an oat and almond flour base, bananas and dates to sweeten, lots of cinnamon, and mixed in roasted pumpkin seeds and pecans. So far the batter is delish :)
I've got these in the oven right now. I bake a gluten-free vegan muffin every Tuesday for our community social gathering. I made jumbo muffins in a silicone muffin pan. Hope they turn out as good as yours!
For some reason the inside didn't get baked for me. Only like 1mm of the crust got baked properly. It was in the oven for 30-40 minutes and it looks more brown than in the video. I think the dough's consistency was thicker, I don't know if that could be the reason.
Ok maybe the problem is that I put 50% more flax, 11% more oats in it. I also put more liquid in it(I used water with mixed with coconut milk). I had to convert "cups" to grams and it didn't work out well enough. I didn't watch the whole video before starting and didn't get to the cronometer part.
Oh my God thank you! I am vegan and recently had to go gluten free for my health so this is a gem of a recipe! I just made these and I am shocked at how easy it was. Minimal ingredients, no butter or oil! I'm shocked at how awesome they turned out!
I can recommend live-traps. It's a little container you put some fruit scrapes in, on top comes a mash. They way it's designed the flies can go in, but not out anymore. You can release the flies 2-3 times a day. After a day or two they are all gone... until you have the next batch from fruit again 😁. I'll see if I can find a link, due to my bad explanation :). Edit: Something like this: www.thoughtco.com/humane-homemade-fruit-fly-trap-127896 I bought it as finished product in Germany, but it's nothing special and has plastic, so building one yourselves sounds good!
Oh and one other tip is to wash your bananas when you get them from the shop. Apparently the eggs are just sitting on the banana. But since I got the trap I stopped doing that, because it didn't help all the time and it's annoying to do.
I’ve found handheld vacuums work super well - in the morning I shake the fruit, suck ‘em out of the air when they fly up and you can let them go outside!
I have a real problem with them, I put some apple cider vinegar in a little bowl with a couple drops of dish soap and leave it out and they're gone by the day's end
I thankfully stumbled across your video when looking for something totally non related. I only had 2 ripe bananas so added 1/3 cup apple sauce to make up for the 3rd one. I added 1tsp vanilla as suggested by another review. I didn’t have ground flax seed and forgot to add hemp seeds but will next time. I added pumpkin seeds, raisins and cranberries along with dark chocolate chips. I used 1tbsp of cinnamon (3 tsp). These didn’t rise as high as yours but definitely delicious. I like to freeze them so I can grab and go. These are going to be a staple in our house from this day forward. Thank you for posting.
I baked some this week (and despite looking like cookies because I don't have a muffin tray) they're delicious, I also discovered that being cookie shaped I could spread peanut butter on the bottom YUM!
Thank you .. just made a batch with diced apples , crushed almonds and dates... WOW!! ( Stuck in a few plant- based semi sweet choco chips in my second batch ) .. 👍👍😘
Made these as a loaf, baking for 40 mins, and it is just wonderful!!! So simple and delicious. I used only 2 cups of oat flour (my cup has 250 ml). I kept the other measurements though.
I made these and they tasted very good. I did adjust it a bit. I used non-spotted bananas so it wouldn't be as sweet and the sugar isn't too high. I also added some protein powder, and a tad of 0% fat greek yogurt to up the protein. I also added Vanilla and a bit of monk sugar. I tried to go by the consistency of Derek's video to see if I need to add more liquid, so I did by adding more almond milk. The inside was very moist and goey but tasted so good and I toasted them up a bit before eating. I like my baked goods hot and crumbly on the outside. I also added a bit of Lily's Chocolate Chips (sugar free) and some goji berries. The texture of these muffins reminds me of the asian dessert Blueberry Mochi which is made with a sweet rice flour and is goey and chewy in texture. This recipe so good, easy, and I will try it again, but it didn't have that traditional muffin crumbly airy texture I was hoping for. It was still so good and also mine may have turned out different a bit because of my additions. I hope you make them guys!
Due to COVID, my partner and I can't get groceries right now. We have run out of healthy snacks and are tired of trail mix. I made these for us (my partner is gluten-free), and we devoured half of them right out of the pan! So good! Definitely will make these again. So easy and with pantry staples!
Just made these and they're great! I added raspberries, goji berries, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, macadamia pieces, cacao nibs, and a few drops of liquid stevia. They're still not real sweet, but I like 'em like this. Will make again! Pura vida!
So going to make these muffins in the morning. Been binge watching a lot of your videos over the last 3 days. Love watching them. So thankyou for all your tips and everything Derek and Crystal.

Add one teaspoon of pure vanilla extract it will bump it up a notch.

Sending so much love to you and Crystal. Thanks for this recipe.
Thank you so much :)
These have been absolutely delicious. This is the second attempt and making them and I used unsweetened cacao instead of chocolate and they still turned out great. The Recipe Rocks! I also used no sodium baking powder and compensated by adding a little vinegar and the lemon juice.
im gonna eat this for dinner. Dont judge.
Omg i can not wait to try these!
I have a paralyzing disease an im trying get healthy again because i was back on the road to a complete healing an i messed up an stopped. J wont stop again an u r gonna b my biggest help.
Thank u so much!
Definitely going to try it. Might even add some protein powder, or peanut butter powder.
Yum, I bought some peanut butter powder and haven't used it yet, sounds good in here! I'll try adding some to part of a batch, thanks!
Great idea, not sure how either would work, might want to add another banana as powders will dry the batter up!
Simnett Nutrition. For sure. I'd just replace some of the oats by weight.
Tried this today as I got fed up eating expensive protein bars. WOW! They turned out brilliant, the only addition I made was added 40g worth of protein whey banana flavour powder. Thank you for the the recipe!!!! Next time I will split out the final mixture into separate bowls and then make different varieties (ie pumpkin seeds etc, another with blueberries, another with cherries and coconut etc etc).
*Simnett Nutrition* Question for your next Ask Me Mondays video... Derek, do you think you would've had the same success in gaining muscle mass if you DIDN'T start using the Vivo life protein powder in every smoothie bowl? I know there's a much more concentrated source of amino acids in those protein powders but it's almost like the food we eat only contributes to the energy production rather than muscle recovery/gains? But do you think you could've made those same gains without using Vivo life? Thanks from Australia! :)
Yes of course. I started using Vivo a little over a year ago.. made my gains before then!
Simnett Nutrition your cookie recipe can be used to make oat bars similar to clif bars. Instead of making a cookie shape, you shape them in a bar shape lol, love your videos, I’d love to see more in the future, maybe a new series?!?!?
@@Simnettnutrition Do you have a source for vivolife in Canada. Both sources that I was using are not able to obtain it anymore.
I’m a long time Baker, and here’s a tip for a quick breads like muffins and banana net bread: the less you work the Dell the better. The lemon juice should go in when you put the other liquid in edger dry ingredients on top of that and then mix once. Your muffins look amazing by the way!
What about the baking soda and powder? Can't we just use baking powder and no lemon?
WOw Wow Wow>>These muffins are packed full of good stuff! I love that these are GF and vegan
You’re killing it in the kitchen! Your videos help a lot of people to see that living a whole food plant based lifestyle can work amazing even as an active person who puts healthy stress workouts on the menu. I’m starting to prep for a half marathon and more and I often reference this channel. Those muffins will do a lot for the long runs without the crazy crashes from eating processed foods/sugars. Thanks again for giving hope to us 40+ active people!
I believe the science behind the bigger rise for chocolate chip muffins are the fats from the chocolate. Think of puff pastry. What makes it puffy is the butter (vegan, of course!) between the layers of dough. :)
Making some food for a 2-day trip and these muffins look perfect for the road. It's not easy staying WFPB while traveling, so these muffins will be a great alternative to the hotel breakfasts.
8:35 - That's so true. I'm frequently disappointed with pre-made food from shops. I do it way better!
Derek your energy is contagious!
chocolate is actually really healthy for you
source: I said so
Carob chips work too! ;)
raw cocoa powder! 🙂
Checks out
As long as you don’t beat me up for disagreeing 🤐😂
It’s my answer when people ask where I get my iron additionally it’s fiber rich
2jrs later, I still use this recipe on a regular basis! (almost) impossible to mess up 🤩
Have you tried using other flours such as buckwheat and almond flour?
I don’t have the chocolate bits. Can I use cocoa powder? If so how much of it?
Merci from Quèbec 🇨🇦
I bake often as a vegan with celiac disease. Great recipe btw. Can’t wait to try it. Have told lots of ppl about ur channel.💚 You got a nice rise knows because he used both baking soda and baking powder. Good idea.
DUDE ive been WAITIN
THANK YOU for your patience
Great recipe, so going to bake this!! The only con would be that Silk almond milk has unhealthy gums and additives. I'd recommend either homemade or bought mlik with just the water, nuts, and/or salt if possible (Whole Foods carry this). Hope y'all enjoying this! So excited to try!
Maybe a little apple sauce for moister
How much would you add and would you leave anything out instead?
Please don’t use the “M” word, it’s gross
The grandkids and I enjoyed this recipe. The muffins were very tasty thank you.
Do You think instead of making 12 muffins Could i do one big loaf? And then cut slices? I only have one silicon loaf form.
Can’t wait to try them! I already make the 2-3 ingredients oatmeal banana cookies and they’re super delicious, so these will be great! Thanks for the recipe, Derek.
I’m so glad you didn’t add protein powder to these 😂🙌🏼
Just made this now....added some dark chocolate and frozen blueberries that I already had....tastes delicious! Thank you for the great recipe!
If somebody tells you that you can't have chocolate somewhere in your breakfast, get them out of your life. You don't need that kind of negativity. 💜😋
LOL. This struck me so funny. Can't stop laughing.
These are so good. I stumbled across this video in my RUclips feed yesterday evening. These sounded so good that I decided I had to make them. I got everything ready before bed I work really odd hours. So I was up at 2:30 AM and got these started before work. I added pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, Goji berries, raisins, raw walnuts and raw cashews about 1/8 cup each and only 1/8 cup dark chocolate chips After all they do have antioxidants in them so why not. I unfortunately had no lemon juice so I used lime juice and these turned out really, really good. So I liked your page and am now following you. I am looking forward to doing a binge on all of your videos thank you for sharing 😊
I’m off to the gym, but I’m definitely going to try these today!! 😁
I wish my mom would try them but she’s obsessed with counting her carbs! 🤦🏼♀️
oh god...counting starchy carbs.....wtf
Animaterie. IKR 🙄🙄
Why does she do that? That's like trying to keep the gas tank of a car always as empty as possible:D
Lael Clever 😂😂
My Coworkers are the same way! They're always counting their carbs! But they do a lot of calisthenics and not the weighted stuff. They said that because of that they don't do a lot of carbs so it hits their fat reserves? I was like Idk about that for sure, but okay.(Maybe with fasting but??? We have amazing people like Simnett who is ripped and so like it makes it hard for me to think counting carbs is ever a good idea)
Yeeeppeee.. made this tonight and it went down quite a treat with vanilla ice cream… Very very nice. Highly recommend.
Finally something good I can have with my afternoon coffee, thanks heaps mate!
I'm rather impressed at how fast he puts the batter into the muffin pan. :)
As funny as I think Vegan Gains can be (even though sometimes he goes way too far and it's just awkward) these channels are the kind that will actually get people really considering plant based eating as well as veganism, I was vegan in the past for just under a year when I was 17 but my parents found it hard to sustain that as they buy the food, now I'm 19 and planning on going vegan or 90% plant based as soon as I move out after college, you don't spread fake bs saying veganism purifies you, it's can be a healthier way to live and is just ethical and most importantly, sustainable for the future, keep doing what you're doing.
Literally just stopped what I was doing to use up my ripe bananas to make this!
I made and used an oat and almond flour base, bananas and dates to sweeten, lots of cinnamon, and mixed in roasted pumpkin seeds and pecans. So far the batter is delish :)
Awesome, I bet they will be amazing
You can also blend the oats in any old coffee grinder 😊
Yes, great idea.
Or bullet blender :)
I finally made it! The muffins came out very tasty. I used cranberries and non dairy dark chocolate chips. This recipe is a winner. Thank you!
Veggie burger recipe!?
One day! I want to create a bangin' one for my next ebook!
I've got these in the oven right now. I bake a gluten-free vegan muffin every Tuesday for our community social gathering. I made jumbo muffins in a silicone muffin pan. Hope they turn out as good as yours!
For some reason the inside didn't get baked for me. Only like 1mm of the crust got baked properly. It was in the oven for 30-40 minutes and it looks more brown than in the video. I think the dough's consistency was thicker, I don't know if that could be the reason.
Ok maybe the problem is that I put 50% more flax, 11% more oats in it. I also put more liquid in it(I used water with mixed with coconut milk). I had to convert "cups" to grams and it didn't work out well enough. I didn't watch the whole video before starting and didn't get to the cronometer part.
Oh my God thank you! I am vegan and recently had to go gluten free for my health so this is a gem of a recipe! I just made these and I am shocked at how easy it was. Minimal ingredients, no butter or oil! I'm shocked at how awesome they turned out!
I am so glad you like them!
Simnett, do you get fruit flies from your bananas/how do you deal with them? as soon as I see one I panic and throw my bananas in the fridge.
You can do that. They aren't going to hurt you though. Usually with the cold weather they disappear.
I can recommend live-traps. It's a little container you put some fruit scrapes in, on top comes a mash. They way it's designed the flies can go in, but not out anymore. You can release the flies 2-3 times a day. After a day or two they are all gone... until you have the next batch from fruit again 😁. I'll see if I can find a link, due to my bad explanation :).
Edit: Something like this:
www.thoughtco.com/humane-homemade-fruit-fly-trap-127896
I bought it as finished product in Germany, but it's nothing special and has plastic, so building one yourselves sounds good!
Oh and one other tip is to wash your bananas when you get them from the shop. Apparently the eggs are just sitting on the banana.
But since I got the trap I stopped doing that, because it didn't help all the time and it's annoying to do.
I’ve found handheld vacuums work super well - in the morning I shake the fruit, suck ‘em out of the air when they fly up and you can let them go outside!
I have a real problem with them, I put some apple cider vinegar in a little bowl with a couple drops of dish soap and leave it out and they're gone by the day's end
I thankfully stumbled across your video when looking for something totally non related. I only had 2 ripe bananas so added 1/3 cup apple sauce to make up for the 3rd one. I added 1tsp vanilla as suggested by another review. I didn’t have ground flax seed and forgot to add hemp seeds but will next time. I added pumpkin seeds, raisins and cranberries along with dark chocolate chips. I used 1tbsp of cinnamon (3 tsp). These didn’t rise as high as yours but definitely delicious. I like to freeze them so I can grab and go. These are going to be a staple in our house from this day forward. Thank you for posting.
You said 3 tablespoons of cinnamon instead of 3 teaspoons, good job you list them on screen as you do it.
When i introduce Simnett channel to my friends and family, I always share THIS video!
Vegfest hype
Oh yeah!! Making muffins all day there! :p
Simnett Nutrition haha, I’m sure you had loads of time to do that! xD
I baked some this week (and despite looking like cookies because I don't have a muffin tray) they're delicious, I also discovered that being cookie shaped I could spread peanut butter on the bottom YUM!
Looks good. I'm newly vegan, but been vegetarian for 30 yrs, so easy to go all the way.
Tried these today with dried cherries and peanut butter chips instead of chocolate. So delicious!
Thank you .. just made a batch with diced apples , crushed almonds and dates... WOW!! ( Stuck in a few plant- based semi sweet choco chips in my second batch ) .. 👍👍😘
Made these as a loaf, baking for 40 mins, and it is just wonderful!!! So simple and delicious. I used only 2 cups of oat flour (my cup has 250 ml). I kept the other measurements though.
I made these and they tasted very good. I did adjust it a bit. I used non-spotted bananas so it wouldn't be as sweet and the sugar isn't too high. I also added some protein powder, and a tad of 0% fat greek yogurt to up the protein. I also added Vanilla and a bit of monk sugar. I tried to go by the consistency of Derek's video to see if I need to add more liquid, so I did by adding more almond milk. The inside was very moist and goey but tasted so good and I toasted them up a bit before eating. I like my baked goods hot and crumbly on the outside. I also added a bit of Lily's Chocolate Chips (sugar free) and some goji berries. The texture of these muffins reminds me of the asian dessert Blueberry Mochi which is made with a sweet rice flour and is goey and chewy in texture. This recipe so good, easy, and I will try it again, but it didn't have that traditional muffin crumbly airy texture I was hoping for. It was still so good and also mine may have turned out different a bit because of my additions. I hope you make them guys!
Due to COVID, my partner and I can't get groceries right now. We have run out of healthy snacks and are tired of trail mix. I made these for us (my partner is gluten-free), and we devoured half of them right out of the pan! So good! Definitely will make these again. So easy and with pantry staples!
Just made these and they're great! I added raspberries, goji berries, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, macadamia pieces, cacao nibs, and a few drops of liquid stevia. They're still not real sweet, but I like 'em like this. Will make again! Pura vida!
So going to make these muffins in the morning. Been binge watching a lot of your videos over the last 3 days. Love watching them. So thankyou for all your tips and everything Derek and Crystal.
