How to Make Banana Date Walnut Muffins Low Fat Vegan

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease and flour it.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with ½ cup granulated sugar (or maple syrup), ½ cup unsweetened soymilk, ¼ cup applesauce, and 2 tablespoons agave nectar until well combined.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 cup chopped pitted dates and ½ cup chopped walnuts.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 15 minutes.
  8. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
