Time 27m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups white whole wheat flour (can sub all-purpose flour)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 medium very ripe bananas
1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick, melted (can sub melted coconut oil))
1/3 cup honey*
1 egg
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease 12 standard-cup muffin tins or line with liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
In a medium bowl, mash the bananas. Stir in the butter, honey, and egg. Mix well. Add the milk and vanilla and mix until blended.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and, with a wooden spoon or spatula, mix just until incorporated.
Divide batter between muffin cups, about 1/3 cup of batter each.
Bake until the tops spring when you touch them and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 12 minutes.
Muffins keep in an airtight container or zipper bag at room temperature for 3-4 days. They also freeze well!
