Description
Make delicious and healthy whole wheat banana walnut muffins.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups whole-wheat flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup butter (melted (1 stick))
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 bananas (very ripe, and peeled (the riper they are the sweeter they’ll be))
- ½ cup walnuts (chopped (optional))
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with paper or silicone liners and set aside.
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder. Make a well (hole) in the center of the flour mixture and drop in the eggs, butter, and syrup. Mix with a fork until it just comes together and set aside.
- In a small bowl mash the two bananas together with the back of a fork. Carefully fold the bananas and walnuts (if using) into the muffin batter and distribute evenly into the 12 muffin cups (or 36 mini muffin cups).
- Bake until they begin to brown on top and a toothpick comes clean when inserted in the center, about 20 to 22 minutes for regular sized muffins or 12 to 14 minutes for mini muffins.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for best sweetness.
- Chopped walnuts are optional.
