Why I Love This Recipe
- Kid-Favorite: Kids LOVE funfetti anything so they will be obsessed with these muffins. No need to frost them honestly–they’re delicious as is!
- Allergen Friendly: These muffins are dairy-free, egg-free and wheat-free. They can be nut-free by swapping out the almond flour for more oat flour and using a nut-free milk (like soy or oat) in place of almond milk.
- Healthier: Most boxed cake mixes contain bleached, refined flour and high amounts of refined sugar. This homemade version is gluten-free, dairy-free, and low in sugar. Plus, no food dyes!

Notes on Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour: Use a 1:1 gluten-free all purpose flour blend.
- Almond Milk: Unsweetened almond milk or any non-dairy milk helps to thin out the batter a bit.
- Banana: Use a ripe, spotty banana to add sweetness to the muffins.
- Sprinkles: Look for vegan, naturally-sweetened sprinkles without any food dye.

Commonly Asked Questions
Yes! Feel free to bake the batter in a greased loaf or cake pan. Just know the baking time will vary. It will take longer–likely an additional 5-10 minutes so continue to check the center for doneness.
You can use a container of vegan store-bought frosting, a drizzle of white chocolate, or make a batch of Healthier Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting.
Let them cool for at least 30 minutes to an hour. They should be fully cooled otherwise the frosting will melt and get pretty messy.

Extra Helpful Tips
- Make your own oat flour by adding oats to a blender and blending on high until a powdery texture forms.
- If you want this recipe to be 100% refined sugar free, use coconut sugar (in place of cane sugar) and you can leave out the sprinkles.
- Wait until the muffins are completely cooled before putting the frosting on; otherwise, the frosting will melt. Frosting them is optional!
- Don’t have muffin liners? That’s ok! Simply grease the muffin pan.
