Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the egg, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and honey to the mashed bananas. Mix well to combine.
In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about 3/4 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.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your low fat banana muffins warm or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
