Description
These whole wheat banana muffins are fluffy, nutrient-dense and wonderfully delicious wholesome muffins bursting with sweet mashed bananas and warm vanilla flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup very ripe bananas, mashed (about 2 medium-size bananas — don’t worry about keeping this measurement 100 percent exact! There is a little wiggle room here.)
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup olive oil (melted coconut oil may also be used — I love this coconut oil which always remains liquid)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a muffin tin with muffin liners.
- Mix all of the dry ingredients (whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon) in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine mashed bananas, eggs, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Pour in olive oil (or melted coconut oil) and stir rapidly.
- Pour the banana mixture into the whole wheat flour mixture and stir to combine.
- Scoop the batter into the muffin tins and bake for 22-26 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly and enjoy.
