Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Ripe bananas
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Sugar substitute (erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit)
- 0.33 cup Chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the egg, unsweetened almond milk, olive oil, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Stir in the sugar substitute and chopped walnuts to the dry ingredients.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy but fully incorporated.
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy as a healthy snack or breakfast option, and store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
