Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

Creating Healthy Banana Muffins is a breeze with this simple process:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. Mash Bananas: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until well blended.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon (if using), and whole wheat flour.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
  6. Add Optional Ingredients: If desired, fold in chopped nuts or chocolate chips for an extra treat.
  7. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
