Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 VERY overripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/3 cup mashed banana, make sure they are almost all the way brown)
⅓ cup honey
1 large egg, at room temperature
½ tablespoon vanilla extract
¼ cup olive oil
1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or milk of choice)
Dry ingredients
1 ¾ cup whole wheat pastry flour*
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
Mix-ins
½ cup chopped walnuts, plus ¼ cup chopped walnuts for sprinkling on top of muffins

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with liners and spray the inside of the liners to prevent sticking.
  • In a large bowl, mix together mashed bananas, honey, egg, vanilla, olive oil and milk until well combined. Add in whole wheat pastry flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt and use a wooden spoon to mix together until the batter is just combined. DO NOT overmix. Fold in ½ cup chopped walnuts.
  • Divide batter evenly into muffin liners, sprinkle each muffin with chopped walnuts. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs attached.
  • Cool muffins for 5 minutes then remove and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Muffins are best served warm and even better the next day. Makes 12 muffins.
