Banana passion fruit muffins (Vegan and gluten-free)

Banana passion fruit muffins are my first gluten-free bakes. They turned out so delicious and after making them many times, I am posting this recipe.

These banana passion fruit muffins are moist and fluffy and you will not make it out that these are gluten-free. Everyone at my home liked it so much and especially my daughter.

I have used fresh passion fruit along with seeds in this recipe. The seeds give a good crunch to the soft muffins. You can skip and seeds and use the juice of passion fruit alone.

Passionfruit gives the nice flavor to the cake, there is another passion fruit cake made with whole wheat flour on the blog. Do check it out.

Variations to banana passion fruit muffins:

• This recipe has buckwheat flour, you can use whole wheat flour as well.
• To make the vegan banana muffins, I used coconut yogurt. But normal yogurt or any plant-based yogurt will work for this recipe.
• You can use butter or any neutral-flavored oil to make this passionfruit muffins recipe.
• Coconut sugar has a low glycemic index and so I use it in all my bakes mostly. Any sugar or jaggery powder will work for this recipe.
• If passion fruit is not available to you, either skip it completely or replace it with equal amount of orange juice. As baking is more of science, make sure that you use the correct quantity else the recipe may not turn out to be good.

Buckwheat banana muffins recipe with step by step pictures:

Take a mixing bowl and mash the bananas using the potato masher or fork. You can blend the bananas to get the fine paste.

Add flax seeds powder and water to the mashed banana mixture.

To this mixture, add coconut sugar and coconut yogurt. You can use any plant-based yogurt or regular yogurt.

Now add passion fruit pulp along with seeds from 2 fruits. You can add passion fruit juice alone as well. Seeds will give the crunch. Add coconut oil as well.

Mix all the ingredients thoroughly so that sugar is dissolved completely. Keep the mixture aside.

Add buckwheat flour to the sieve which is placed on the plate.

To the flour, add baking soda and baking powder.

Sift the flour and mix it well. Add salt to flour mixture and mix it again so that it is incorporated well.

Now add flour mixture to the wet ingredients in three parts and mix it well.

The final batter will little think and will flow like ribbons.

Take a muffin tray and line it with paper molds. I don't have a muffin tray, I will use a regular baking tray and use silicone mold for muffins. Fill the batter in mold up to 75%.

Bake the banana and passion fruit muffins for 30 minutes at 180 degrees C.
