Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 eggs
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, honey, and eggs. Mix these ingredients thoroughly until smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and spices.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can result in dense muffins.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full for proper rise.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve once slightly warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For extra moisture, you can add a tablespoon of applesauce or a splash of milk to the batter.
- Feel free to add nuts or dark chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
- Use ripe bananas as they provide natural sweetness and moisture.
