My Favorite Banana Bread Muffins Modified To Be Healthier Recipes

BANANA BREAD MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350º Fahrenheit. Line a 12 cup muffin tray with muffin liners or grease the pan.
• Place bananas in large bowl and using the back of a fork, mash the bananas until they are broken down.
• Add in white whole wheat flour, coconut oil, coconut sugar, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
• Mix everything until well combined, then add in walnuts.
• Divide the batter evenly into all 12 muffin cups. Top each muffin with an extra walnut half (totally optional, but super fun!).
• Pop in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until fragrant, golden brown, and set through.
• Cool and enjoy!

HEALTHY BANANA BREAD MUFFINS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Whisk together the whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
• Whisk together the coconut oil, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla and egg whites in a separate medium bowl until well combined. Stir in the mashed banana. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until combined. Stir in the chopped walnuts if using.
• Fill the lined muffin cups about three-quarters of the way with the batter (a generous 1/4 cup in each; see Cook's Note). Bake on the center rack until a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes, then remove the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

HEALTHIER BANANA SPLIT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray.
• Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
• Mix applesauce and egg together in another bowl. Add applesauce mixture to the flour mixture. Stir in bananas, chocolate chips, and dried cherries.
• Spoon batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup almost to the top.
• Bake muffins in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

MY FAVORITE BANANA BREAD MUFFINS *MODIFIED TO BE HEALTHIER*

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use paper cupcake wrappers in the muffin pan to eliminate the need for a greasing agent and for easy cleanup.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the first four ingredients.
• Mix in the walnuts.
• In a separate medium bowl, mix the butter, eggs, yogurt, bananas, and vanilla extract.
• Fold the banana mixture into the dry ingredients until the batter is thick but thoroughly moistened.
• Pour into the muffin cups. Fill 80% of the cups with batter, leaving only a little room for rise.
• Bake for 20-30 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean.

• Blend well.
• Stir in flour.
