Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups Ground flaxseed
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1 cup Mashed ripe bananas
- 0.5 cups Honey
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts (optional)
- 0.25 cups Dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the honey, almond milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts and dark chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 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.
Enjoy your Flax Friends Muffins as a nutritious breakfast or snack. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
