Vegan Cinnamon Roll Banana Bread Muffins

Vegan Cinnamon Roll Banana Bread Muffins made with all gluten-free and nut-free ingredients! A delicious banana bread muffin with a cinnamon swirl twist!

If you love my Vegan Cinnamon Roll Banana Bread then you are in for a real delight over here.

These are the muffin version of one of my favorite banana breads and recipes EVER on the blog. Cinnamon roll meets banana bread in one perfectly sweet and deliciously fluffy and moist muffin. These muffins are the ultimate brunch or breakfast muffin to make. And they just so happen to be vegan, gluten-free and nut-free. They are easy to make and so satisfying.

I love making these to snack on all week long. I usually warm mine up in the microwave and add a little ghee on top too. You can’t go wrong.

These muffins also keep really well in the freezer so feel free to bake a batch and then defrost as you crave them. The ultimate way to have them on hand at all times!

If you guys make these, let me know!! I hope you love them as much as we do.

What ingredients you need to bake these gluten-free and. nut-free cinnamon banana bread muffins:

• Flax eggs – or sub regular eggs if you prefer
• Mashed banana – the more ripe the bananas, the sweeter and more moist the muffins will be
• Coconut oil – or use avocado oil for a more neutral oil
• Maple syrup – I haven’t tested a sub but honey could work too or liquid date sugar
• Non-dairy milk – any you’d like! or use regular milk
• Vanilla extract – a splash for flavor
• Gluten-free oat flour – gluten-free all purpose flour also works well or spelt flour if not gluten-free
• Cinnamon – lots of cinnamon for this
• Unsweetened applesauce – this is to make the cinnamon swirl for the center/topping
• Coconut sugar – I recommend this over honey/maple syrup so you have a grainy base
