HEALTHY BANANA BREAD MUFFINS



Healthy Banana Bread Muffins image

A banana bread muffin so light, fluffy and tender, you'd never guess it's made with mostly whole-wheat flour. Using very ripe bananas keeps the muffins moist and minimizes the amount of sugar you add.

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup whole-wheat flour (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
5 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large egg whites, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups mashed very ripe banana (about 3 large bananas)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, optional

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Whisk together the whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Whisk together the coconut oil, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla and egg whites in a separate medium bowl until well combined. Stir in the mashed banana. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until combined. Stir in the chopped walnuts if using.
  • Fill the lined muffin cups about three-quarters of the way with the batter (a generous 1/4 cup in each; see Cook's Note). Bake on the center rack until a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes, then remove the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

NIKKI'S BANANA BREAD MUFFINS- HEALTHY



Nikki's Banana Bread Muffins- Healthy image

I have been working on this recipe for about a year now. I had several bananas were extremely ripe and I needed a recipe to use them. I was on the search for something healthy but still tastes good. I took several recipes that I had and kind of put them together.

Time 55m

Yield 6-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 ripe bananas
1/4 cup melted butter
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
1 1/2 cups flour
2 tablespoons ground flax seed meal (optional)
1/4-1/2 cup mini chocolate chip (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • I use my kitchenaid for this -mix melted butter with bananas.
  • Add egg, vanilla, baking soda, salt, and Flax seed meal and mix well.
  • add flour and the chocolate chips last.
  • Pour into sprayed muffin tins, (I use a LARGE muffin tin and this recipe yields 6 large muffins).
  • Bake 45 mins or until a tooth pick comes out clean (the 45 mins is for the LARGE muffins).
  • Please note: I always add the flax seed meal and I try to remember the chocolate chips because it just gives them a little something extra (they tent to taste a little dry without the chocolate chips). I have omitted the sugar completely since I use VERY ripe bananas (if you want to add sugar it is 1 cup that I started with and then went to 1/2 cup and then reduced to none). I am slowly reducing the butter in this recipe, recently I reduced it to 2 tablespoons per batch. I always double if not triple this recipe!
