WHOLE-GRAIN BANANA YOGURT MUFFINS
Whole-wheat flour gives these muffins a rich, nutty flavor that's extra satisfying on fall days. Even though this recipe uses all whole-grain flour, the muffins stay light and tender in texture and delicate in taste. Combining the dry ingredients with a large proportion of wet - bananas, yogurt, oil and honey - keeps these from being dry and heavy. Plus, the acidity of yogurt and honey help mellow out the tannic taste of whole wheat. Because these muffins are so tender, their flat tops crack a bit instead of doming. You can adorn them and add crunch by sprinkling with oats, seeds, chopped nuts, grated coconut or cacao nibs before baking.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners or generously grease (with nonstick cooking spray or butter).
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk the bananas, yogurt, egg, brown sugar, oil and honey until just smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently stir with a silicone spatula just until no streaks of flour remain. Divide the batter evenly among the muffins cups. Sprinkle on toppings if you'd like.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into a center muffin comes out clean, 20 to 23 minutes.
- Cool in the tin on a rack for 5 minutes, unmold and cool completely or serve warm.

Tips:
- Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be. Look for bananas with yellow peels that are speckled with brown.
- Use a variety of grains: This recipe calls for a blend of whole wheat flour, oat flour, and cornmeal. Feel free to experiment with other grains, such as barley flour, rye flour, or buckwheat flour.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use muffin liners: Muffin liners will help your muffins bake evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- 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.
Conclusion:
These multi-grain banana muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They're packed with whole grains, fruits, and healthy fats. They're also low in fat and sugar, making them a great choice for people who are watching their weight. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast or a healthy snack, these muffins are a great option.
