Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Ripe bananas
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Honey or maple syrup
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth with a fork or potato masher.
Add the egg, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the muffins dense.
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 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, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your low-fat banana muffins plain or with a light spread of nut butter!
