Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
- 0.75 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup milk or non-dairy milk
- 1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Step 3
In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the unsweetened applesauce, egg, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Gently fold in the chopped apple and walnuts, if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Enjoy the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
