Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 2 medium Ripe bananas (mashed)
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cups Honey
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 1 for the tray Non-stick spray or paper muffin liners
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly spray with non-stick spray.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the applesauce, honey, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined; do not over-mix.
Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, being cautious not to crush them.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about ¾ full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
