Banana Gingerbread Muffins

I love the flavors and texture of these banana gingerbread muffins! They are bursting with banana flavor, molasses and warm gingerbread spices. The molasses in the recipe gives these an irresistible texture.

This recipe is actually vegan and has no eggs, I make it with vegan butter or coconut oil but it can be made using butter too. It is a little denser (in a good way) than it would be with the added egg. The denseness only adds to it’s deliciousness because it really highlights the molasses texture.
