Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until fully combined.
In another bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, fold in the optional chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the muffins warm or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days. These muffins can also be frozen for longer storage.
