Vegan Banana Bread Bites – Instructions
- Prep Your Tools: If you’re using a cake pop maker, preheat it now. Otherwise, set your oven to 350°F and prepare a mini muffin tin.
- Cream It Together: Beat the coconut oil and sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the applesauce and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Slowly add this to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Gently fold in the mashed bananas and chopped nuts.
- Cook to Perfection:
- Cake Pop Maker: Fill each compartment with batter, close the lid, and cook until golden brown.
- Oven Method: Spoon the batter into the mini muffin tin and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Repeat as Needed: Continue making batches until all the batter is used up.
