Ingredients

• 3 medium Ripe bananas
• 1 large Egg
• 0.33 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Milk (any kind)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted and cooled) or any neutral oil
• 1.75 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a standard 12-cup muffin pan by lining it with paper liners or greasing it with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.

Step 3

Add the egg, honey, milk, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil to the mashed bananas. Whisk everything together until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 6

Fold in the optional chopped walnuts or chocolate chips if desired.

Step 7

Divide the batter equally among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
