Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 medium Mashed ripe bananas
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing it with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the egg, honey, applesauce, and vanilla extract, and whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixtures together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the muffins dense.
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup approximately three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 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, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
