Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the unsweetened applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract, and whisk together until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not over-mix.
Fold in the chopped walnuts and almond milk gently until they are evenly distributed in the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 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 these delicious sugar-free banana nut muffins warm or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
