Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 3 medium Ripe bananas
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or lightly grease it with nonstick spray.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the egg, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Stir until well combined.
Step 4
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
Step 5
If using walnuts or chocolate chips, fold them in gently at this stage.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature, or up to a week in the refrigerator.
