Description

Made in just one bowl, these soft and fluffy Banana Muffins are a healthy grab-and-go breakfast! They’re free of dairy and refined sugar, loaded with banana flavor and spiced up with cinnamon and nutmeg.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bananas, mashed
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 4 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 cup white whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-count muffin tin or two 6-count tins with a cupcake liner in each divot. Alternatively, you can grease the muffin tin(s) with cooking spray.
  2. Place bananas into a large bowl. Use a fork to mash them until just very small lumps are left.
  3. Add maple syrup, egg, coconut oil and vanilla extract and use a fork to combine.
  4. Add flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and baking soda. Use a spatula to mix until wet and dry ingredients are completely combined.
  5. Fill each divot in the muffin tin(s) 3/4 of the way full.
  6. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a couple loose crumbs.
  7. Remove muffins from the oven and let them rest in the pan for 3-5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack. You can enjoy them warm or cool them to room temperature.

Notes

  • To Store & Reheat: Keep cooled muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days. If desired, reheat individual muffins by wrapping them in paper towels and microwaving for 30-60 seconds.
  • To Freeze: Flash-freeze muffins on a baking sheet for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, transfer to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw on the counter before reheating and/or enjoying.
