Can these gluten free banana muffins be made vegan?
The only non-vegan ingredient in these protein muffins is the egg. Although I have not tested using a vegan egg substitute, I think it would work just fine! The best protein for these muffins is a vegan pea protein.
What add-ins should I use?
Although these protein banana muffins taste great on their own, I love adding chocolate chips. You can’t go wrong with the chocolate and banana combo! Other add-in options that would be great include walnuts or even other fruit like blueberries. Adding an extra chopped banana for some texture would be wonderful, as well. Lots of options to experiment with!
