WHOLE-GRAIN BANANA YOGURT MUFFINS



Whole-Grain Banana Yogurt Muffins image

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.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: This will ensure your muffins are moist and flavorful. You can also use frozen bananas, just be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Mash the bananas well: This will help to incorporate them evenly into the batter and prevent your muffins from being lumpy.
  • Use plain yogurt: This will give your muffins a tangy flavor and help to keep them moist. You can also use Greek yogurt, just be sure to strain it first to remove any excess moisture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups to the top: This will help to create a nice dome-shaped muffin.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust and a fluffy interior.

These yogurt, banana, and pear muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are moist, flavorful, and packed with nutrients.
