With coffee taste and aroma

These muffins taste and smell slightly of coffee, similar to the vegan coffee nut bundt cake. The batter is prepared with instant coffee. The more powder you add, the more intense the taste will be.

With any nuts and dried fruits

My muffins contain dried plums and walnut kernels. The two ingredients combine perfectly in terms of taste and also complement the coffee batter very well.

Optionally, you can use other nuts for the recipe, such as peanuts, almonds or hazelnuts, just like for the apple bread. The muffins are also delicious with any dried fruits, such as dried apricots or cranberries.

No egg and no butter

The batter for these coffee cake muffins contains only plant-based ingredients. It is egg-free and butter-free, just like the batter for the vegan banana muffins with chocolate chips.

I made it with soy milk. However, any other plant-based milk will work just as well.

Vegetable oil makes the vegan coffee cake muffins moist and soft. A ripe banana acts as a binding agent in the batter, similar to the baby cookies recipe, and makes the consistency even moister.

How to make vegan coffee cake muffins: tips and tricks

  • Use a very ripe or overripe banana for the batter.
  • You can adjust the amount of sugar to taste.
  • You can use other nuts instead of walnuts.
  • You can replace prunes with any dried fruits.
  • You can also refine the batter with sweet spices, such as cinnamon.
  • I used soy milk. Any other plant-based milk alternative is also suitable.
  • Only stir the batter briefly until it reaches a homogeneous consistency and never for too long. Otherwise the muffins could taste tough and not soft.
  • Do not bake the coffee cake muffins for longer than necessary so that they taste moist. Do a stick test to check whether they are done.
