They're both nuts. The videos he does with Krystal, they are positively giddy. Charming and refreshing. If I'm in a down mood (say, 2 hours til my eating window for IF) watching him perks me up.
Love your videos have been watching for a while. Thought I’d give some of this a try... well it’s 5+ months later I am about 80% vegan and shooting for 100%. I dropped 70lbs and power walk 5 miles a day. I haven’t felt this good in many years. Your videos are amazing keep up the great work, God bless.
@@duboneforme9591 and it's people like you that make people nit want to go vegan or even try and who make me lose faith in the world. And yes, there is such a thing as that. It means, 80% of your time throughout he months, you eat all plants. The other 20% has animal products in it. You knew exactly what he meant. You just wanted to be a twat.
Just found this recipe and made them today in the silicon muffin pan and they are by far the best healthy muffins I have ever made ... and believe me I have tried dozens of different recipes. Thank you
I always remember it this way... baking powder puffs up the cake, baking soda spreads your cake. Powder Puffs, Soda Spreads! Im trying this recipe right now. thanks man!
Just made these this afternoon and they're fantastic. Love all the contents in them, especially the chocolate chips. And they're "all day' muffins in my world. Doesn't have to be breakfast for these little wonders. Thanks for all you amazing recipes and information. Love your videos!
Really great tasting muffins! I used coconut milk instead of almond milk to make them nut-free (& pumpkin seeds instead of nuts). I also used 2 organic bananas + 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (instead of 3 bananas). I made them with chocolate chips - obviously! Excellent texture & taste - nobody would know they're vegan & gluten-free. Thanks for this recipe, Derek - I enjoy your videos & your energy :)
I like your style. You told where you are from but then got right down to the recipe without endless chatter like so many others do. Your ingredients were already measure and well displayed. That will make it super easy when I replay the video to create,this,recipe myself. I really like the macro breakdown at the end too etc.
Don't delay! Make these TODAY! Sadly, this recipe has been on my "to make" list for well over a year. The list of recipes I want to try is always too long but Derek's recipes never disappoint and these little muffins were so darned good, I've already eaten 3! I added 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips and 2 Tbs maple syrup. I love that's it's one of those flexible recipes that we can play with the ingredients so I can't wait to test with coconut flakes, blueberries and a variety of nuts, seeds and dry fruit. It's like granola in a muffin. The house smells divine and I'm thrilled to have these absolutely perfect little treats! Thank you!!! 😘
I have made several types of these muffins out of oats by just blending old fashioned GF oats in my blender. If some oat flakes remain it's no problem at all. I have to say, I do not like chocolate chips in any of them nor do I care for seeds but, I have added applesauce, blueberries, dried cranberries, walnuts, flaked almonds, diced apples and of course very ripe bananas. It's one of my go to recipes for breakfast. I always add the lemon juice directly to the liquid ingredients because, that was traditionally how I was taught.
@@brendaf3132 I'm with you! I've made them so many times and now avoid the choc chips just because I'd rather have natural fats of nuts or shredded coconuts. I like making them in mini muffin silicone molds (they pop right out) and I keep them stored in the freezer so they're always on hand.
I taught myself how to make a vegan butter. Take a 1/4 cup of walnuts, add warm water and blend. It makes a smooth paste that acts very much like butter but is vegan and WFPBNO
I just made your recipe with a few alterations ... I used 1 1/2 cups of oat flour and 1 1/2 cups of almond meal. I added walnuts as the main nut and used a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla essence as the spices. Thank you so much for posting, they are one of the best muffins I’ve ever made xxx
I've got these in the oven right now. I bake a gluten-free vegan muffin every Tuesday for our community social gathering. I made jumbo muffins in a silicone muffin pan. Hope they turn out as good as yours!
Can’t wait to try them! I already make the 2-3 ingredients oatmeal banana cookies and they’re super delicious, so these will be great! Thanks for the recipe, Derek.
The problem with you Derek is that you are so contagiously positive and so sweet that I can't stop binging your videos and it makes me feel like a stalker 🤣😂 Much love to you, Crystal and Coco. ❤️
Yes for vanilla AND definitely unsweetened shredded coconut😍. I have it 5 - 6 days a week 2 daily. I do change some of the ingredients often or add things like ginger powder, other spices or dry fruits, maple syrup or local honey, carrots, apples, the options are endless. It's delicious, healthy and we know what's in it and how and who made!
This muffin recipe is great! Made a batch today, half choc chip, half blueberry, and even though I didn’t have everything listed, i substituted a couple ingredients, and they came out perfectly! Baking isn’t a particular skill of mine lol so I am very happy at how these turned out! Thanks Derek - I am really loving the recipes on your channel atm and am trying lots of things I haven’t made before, things I feel Ive missed eating since becoming vegan. Your healthy, vegan versions are super easy to make and most importantly taste amazing! It’s been hard to find vegan versions of my favourite treats in stores near me, so I’ve had to go without, but thanks to you I now have a kitchen full (and a belly full!) of all the goodies I love 😋👍🏼💚🐷🍪🧁🍌😍 yum!
You’re killing it in the kitchen! Your videos help a lot of people to see that living a whole food plant based lifestyle can work amazing even as an active person who puts healthy stress workouts on the menu. I’m starting to prep for a half marathon and more and I often reference this channel. Those muffins will do a lot for the long runs without the crazy crashes from eating processed foods/sugars. Thanks again for giving hope to us 40+ active people!
*Simnett Nutrition* Question for your next Ask Me Mondays video... Derek, do you think you would've had the same success in gaining muscle mass if you DIDN'T start using the Vivo life protein powder in every smoothie bowl? I know there's a much more concentrated source of amino acids in those protein powders but it's almost like the food we eat only contributes to the energy production rather than muscle recovery/gains? But do you think you could've made those same gains without using Vivo life? Thanks from Australia! :)
Simnett Nutrition your cookie recipe can be used to make oat bars similar to clif bars. Instead of making a cookie shape, you shape them in a bar shape lol, love your videos, I’d love to see more in the future, maybe a new series?!?!?
What a great recipe. I made these with walnuts and raisins. They turned out great. I can eat muffins again without eggs and dairy hurray! Thank you Friend.
I’m a long time Baker, and here’s a tip for a quick breads like muffins and banana net bread: the less you work the Dell the better. The lemon juice should go in when you put the other liquid in edger dry ingredients on top of that and then mix once. Your muffins look amazing by the way!
Love How quick and easy these are! And yet they’re healthy too. This is so amazing since I’m a student and this is so easy to make ahead and then just grab one to go with lunch. Love vids like these. Quick, easy, make ahead and healthy so it’s just fine to eat on an everyday basis. Not like a sugar loaded Müslibar. Sustainable. BIG LIKE FROM HERE
These are the ingredients that I created for my son’s pancakes. I use more milk, vanilla and menus the baking soda. He loves them. Thanks for the information!
Derek thank you for this wonderful recipe! I make these muffins every week but also add 1 cup of frozen blueberries. Enjoy this with a cup of organic CC latte (Chaga/Coffee/Almond Milk latte). Enjoy your positive energy and encouragement !!! Blessings to you and Crystal. Linda
Literally just stopped what I was doing to use up my ripe bananas to make this! I made and used an oat and almond flour base, bananas and dates to sweeten, lots of cinnamon, and mixed in roasted pumpkin seeds and pecans. So far the batter is delish :)
Tried this today as I got fed up eating expensive protein bars. WOW! They turned out brilliant, the only addition I made was added 40g worth of protein whey banana flavour powder. Thank you for the the recipe!!!! Next time I will split out the final mixture into separate bowls and then make different varieties (ie pumpkin seeds etc, another with blueberries, another with cherries and coconut etc etc).
Have you tried using other flours such as buckwheat and almond flour? I don’t have the chocolate bits. Can I use cocoa powder? If so how much of it? Merci from Quèbec 🇨🇦
Replace bananas with a combination of steamed (I have a pressure cooker - 5 min for super-soft pumpkin) sweet potato and pumpkin (butternut squash or other dense varieties are super!), add more dates for sweetness - Hmmm!!! Terrific!!! Thanks for the great video!!!
Love these muffins! So easy and delicious. I omitted the chocolate because I don’t like chocolate chips in muffins (but I do love chocolate!) and added 1/2 cup coconut and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. I also added 2 oatmeal packets because I needed to use them and they gave the muffins just a little more sweetness. Thank you for the recipe and your amazing positivity too!
I appreciate you taking the time to write the recipe in the description. It was really cool you showed the nutritional content in the video as well. Thank you. Well done!
For some reason the inside didn't get baked for me. Only like 1mm of the crust got baked properly. It was in the oven for 30-40 minutes and it looks more brown than in the video. I think the dough's consistency was thicker, I don't know if that could be the reason.
Ok maybe the problem is that I put 50% more flax, 11% more oats in it. I also put more liquid in it(I used water with mixed with coconut milk). I had to convert "cups" to grams and it didn't work out well enough. I didn't watch the whole video before starting and didn't get to the cronometer part.
Thank you for this video. I made this today but didnt have cupcake trays so I made banana bread instead. 350° for about an hour. It came out delicious, thank you for this video
Dude, I completely agree with you, Stevia as a sugar replacement is nasty. I'm not even sure if it's "healthy" either, I either throw some apple/banana in there for sweetness or get it some natural sweetness with a few dates. It's amazing. I actually put protein powders in there (Whey isolate) as well. It's the method that I can always take my daily protein, especially if I don't get enough from my normal diet.
Made these as a loaf, baking for 40 mins, and it is just wonderful!!! So simple and delicious. I used only 2 cups of oat flour (my cup has 250 ml). I kept the other measurements though.
I believe the science behind the bigger rise for chocolate chip muffins are the fats from the chocolate. Think of puff pastry. What makes it puffy is the butter (vegan, of course!) between the layers of dough. :)
Chocolate in the morning is Great, I make a great triple chocolate oatmeal, cocoa powder, dark chocolate with next to no sweetener, and peanut butter that has cocoa as wel.. so delicious.
Due to COVID, my partner and I can't get groceries right now. We have run out of healthy snacks and are tired of trail mix. I made these for us (my partner is gluten-free), and we devoured half of them right out of the pan! So good! Definitely will make these again. So easy and with pantry staples!
Hi Derek, thanks for the healthy baking inspiration. Just popped mine in the oven- did a little almond butter and each muffin got a little chocolate chunk in the center. Definite road trip muffins!
My Coworkers are the same way! They're always counting their carbs! But they do a lot of calisthenics and not the weighted stuff. They said that because of that they don't do a lot of carbs so it hits their fat reserves? I was like Idk about that for sure, but okay.(Maybe with fasting but??? We have amazing people like Simnett who is ripped and so like it makes it hard for me to think counting carbs is ever a good idea)
I made a 1/2 recipe this morning since my hubby won't eat anything containing bananas. These muffins were so delicious. By the way, I used chocolate chips that had no added sugar.
As funny as I think Vegan Gains can be (even though sometimes he goes way too far and it's just awkward) these channels are the kind that will actually get people really considering plant based eating as well as veganism, I was vegan in the past for just under a year when I was 17 but my parents found it hard to sustain that as they buy the food, now I'm 19 and planning on going vegan or 90% plant based as soon as I move out after college, you don't spread fake bs saying veganism purifies you, it's can be a healthier way to live and is just ethical and most importantly, sustainable for the future, keep doing what you're doing.
Just made these muffins for the third time and I’m so excited to eat them! They’re nice and filling, and so simple and quick to make. I love having some for breakfast! Thanks again for all of your videos!
Thank you .. just made a batch with diced apples , crushed almonds and dates... WOW!! ( Stuck in a few plant- based semi sweet choco chips in my second batch ) .. 👍👍😘
Have made these 3 times in 2 days and we love these muffins! I used vanilla oat milk as I am allergic to most nut milks and they turned out great. Also love watching your inspiring simple meal ideas. Also love how you offer so many ways to alter how you do things. Thank you so much.
These muffins were awesome. Vegan goodness at its best. I have only been vegan for a year but I have never felt better. Slowly convincing my husband the omnivore to join me in my journey. Truth be told, I am probably old enough to be your mother 😱😱😱 (oh that hurts! Lol) but I enjoy your channel immensely. Great information and recipes. Thanks!
I can recommend live-traps. It's a little container you put some fruit scrapes in, on top comes a mash. They way it's designed the flies can go in, but not out anymore. You can release the flies 2-3 times a day. After a day or two they are all gone... until you have the next batch from fruit again 😁. I'll see if I can find a link, due to my bad explanation :). Edit: Something like this: www.thoughtco.com/humane-homemade-fruit-fly-trap-127896 I bought it as finished product in Germany, but it's nothing special and has plastic, so building one yourselves sounds good!
Oh and one other tip is to wash your bananas when you get them from the shop. Apparently the eggs are just sitting on the banana. But since I got the trap I stopped doing that, because it didn't help all the time and it's annoying to do.
I’ve found handheld vacuums work super well - in the morning I shake the fruit, suck ‘em out of the air when they fly up and you can let them go outside!
I have a real problem with them, I put some apple cider vinegar in a little bowl with a couple drops of dish soap and leave it out and they're gone by the day's end
1 year Vegan on October 1st. Posted my fastest 5k, 10k, 10 mile and half marathon times since making the switch. Going for my first sub 4hr Marathon tomorrow. You got me started Derek and keep me going. Love the food idea videos for sure. Thanks a bunch from Westhampton, New York.
Tip: 2 spoons work neater than spoon and finger. 💛Great recipe. I've been missing the super healthy but nonvegan muffins that I used to make. I'll skip the dates and raisins as I am a diabetic and they would cause a danger. Blueberries for sure!
