Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 2 pieces eggs
- 120 grams plain Greek yogurt
- 60 milliliters honey
- 5 milliliters vanilla extract
- 180 grams whole wheat flour
- 5 grams baking powder
- 2 grams baking soda
- 3 grams ground cinnamon
- 1 gram salt
- 80 grams chopped walnuts
- 60 milliliters olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and olive oil to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these healthy banana and walnut muffins as a quick breakfast, snack, or on-the-go treat!
