Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Ripe bananas
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1.25 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 optional Cooking spray or muffin liners
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or lightly coat with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Whisk in the egg, vanilla extract, honey (or maple syrup), Greek yogurt, and almond milk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this will make the muffins dense.
Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to squish them.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy warm, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the refrigerator.
