Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Ripe bananas
- 1 piece Large egg
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the egg, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil, and whisk until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl into the wet ingredients in the large bowl. Gently fold the mixture with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
