Instructions
Creating Healthy Banana Muffins is a breeze with this simple process:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- Mash Bananas: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until well blended.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon (if using), and whole wheat flour.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
- Add Optional Ingredients: If desired, fold in chopped nuts or chocolate chips for an extra treat.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
