WHOLE WHEAT BANANA MUFFINS (HEALTHY!)



Whole Wheat Banana Muffins (Healthy!) image

These muffins are a healthy option because of the wheat flour and flax seed. The sugar could probably be reduced further, if desired, but I haven't tried to do that yet. If you don't want to use the wheat flour, just use 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. I add some quick oats to the topping, for presentation. Also good in a mini-muffin pan!

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Mash the bananas well: Be sure to mash the bananas until they are completely smooth, with no lumps.
  • Use whole wheat flour: Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients to your muffins.
  • Add a variety of mix-ins: Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins to these muffins, such as nuts, seeds, chocolate chips, or dried fruit.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that your muffins are cooked through.
