If you’re like me, you always have a ton of over-ripe bananas on the counter just begging to be used. Basically, I buy bananas just to watch them die a slow death. Because why buy bananas if you’re not going to bake with them, right?!

These gluten free and vegan banana split muffins are a fun way to use them up. They’re a nice change from the normal gluten free banana bread or gluten free banana muffins. I love the contrast of the chocolate and banana in these muffins, you really get the best of both worlds!

It also helps that my super-picky 3-year-old will eat these. I thought for sure she would freak out because of the two sides but she actually loves it. Go figure – I’ll take it though!

To make these gluten free vegan banana split muffins, you’ll have to split the batter into two bowls and add the cocoa powder to half the batter. Then, you’ll spoon the batter separately into the muffin tins to get the right look.

Splitting the batter up and carefully spooning both into the muffin tins might be an extra, slightly more time-consuming step, but it’s worth it! It takes ordinary banana nut muffins from basic to WOW. Your kids will love them. Which means you will love them because if the kids are happy, you’re happy.

I also added some extra chocolate chips to the tops of the muffins before baking. It was probably about 1/4 cup but I didn’t really measure it. I just eyeballed what looked nice on the muffin tops. You can never go wrong with a little extra chocolate because chocolate 🍫🍫❤️
