Categories     Breakfast

Time 47m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2/3 cup walnut halves
1 cup whole wheat flour*
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 3 medium bananas)
½ cup honey
1/3 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt (at room temperature)
1/4 cup canola oil (or light olive oil)
2 large eggs (at room temperature)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2½ cups wheat bran
1/2 cup additional mix-ins of choice:

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a muffin pan with nonstick spray or fit with paper liners.
  • Spread the walnuts in a single layer on an ungreased rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until they are fragrant and toasted. Watch carefully to makes sure they do not burn. Transfer to a cutting board and roughly chop.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
  • In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas (if mashing them directly in the bowl, double-check to make sure you have 1 full cup, not more or less), honey, yogurt, oil, eggs, and vanilla.
  • Add the flour mixture to the bowl with the wet ingredients. By hand with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, stir gently just until the flour disappears.
  • Gently stir in the wheat bran, walnuts, and any additional mix-ins, just until combined. The batter will be very thick.
  • Portion the batter into the muffin cups, dividing it evenly (I recommend using a batter scoop like this or try a 1/3 cup dry measuring cup).
  • Bake for 24 to 28 minutes, until the tops are golden brown, a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, and the tops spring back lightly when touched. Allow to cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then gently unmold and transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SPICED BANANA MUFFINS



Spiced Banana Muffins image

Recipe by Canadian Chef Michael Smith. "A recipe is merely words on paper; a guideline, a starting point from which to improvise. It cannot pretend to replace the practiced hand and telling glance of a watchful cook. For that reason feel free to stir your own ideas into this dish. When you cook it once, it becomes yours, so personalize it a bit. Add more of an ingredient you like or less of something you don't like. Try substituting one ingredient for another. Remember words have no flavour, you have to add your own!" You got to love him!
