If you ever wonder if making muffins without eggs is possible, the answer is yes! Based on the research, I use ¼ cup of mashed banana as a substitution for every egg. Because the natural sweetness from the ripe banana and 100% orange juice, the required additional sugar is minimal. Even though these muffins contain no eggs, and no dairy, they are still soft, moist and most importantly, delicious. I wouldn’t be surprised if they become your go to muffins after you give the recipe a try.
