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.

WHOLE-GRAIN BANANA YOGURT MUFFINS



Whole-Grain Banana Yogurt Muffins image

Whole-wheat flour gives these muffins a rich, nutty flavor that's extra satisfying on fall days. Even though this recipe uses all whole-grain flour, the muffins stay light and tender in texture and delicate in taste. Combining the dry ingredients with a large proportion of wet - bananas, yogurt, oil and honey - keeps these from being dry and heavy. Plus, the acidity of yogurt and honey help mellow out the tannic taste of whole wheat. Because these muffins are so tender, their flat tops crack a bit instead of doming. You can adorn them and add crunch by sprinkling with oats, seeds, chopped nuts, grated coconut or cacao nibs before baking.

Time 30m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups/150 grams whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (from about 2 large bananas)
1/2 cup/120 milliliters plain whole-milk yogurt
1 large egg
1/2 cup/110 grams packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup/60 milliliters neutral oil, such as grapeseed or canola
1/4 cup/60 milliliters honey
Old-fashioned oats, seeds, chopped nuts, grated coconut or cacao nibs, for sprinkling (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners or generously grease (with nonstick cooking spray or butter).
  • In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk the bananas, yogurt, egg, brown sugar, oil and honey until just smooth.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently stir with a silicone spatula just until no streaks of flour remain. Divide the batter evenly among the muffins cups. Sprinkle on toppings if you'd like.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into a center muffin comes out clean, 20 to 23 minutes.
  • Cool in the tin on a rack for 5 minutes, unmold and cool completely or serve warm.
