Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup melted coconut oil
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Add the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped walnuts gently into 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 tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your sugar-free banana muffins warm or store them in an airtight container for up to three days or freeze for up to one month.
