Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups soy flour
1 cup oat flour
1/2 cup artificial sweetener
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup crushed walnuts
3/4 cup skim milk
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 very ripe bananas, chopped

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Combine dry ingredients in large bowl.
  • Whisk milk, applesauce and vanilla in medium bowl.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be. Overripe bananas are ideal since they will add an extra boost of sweetness and moisture to the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough, dense muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no more.
  • Use a muffin liner: Muffin liners will prevent the muffins from sticking to the muffin pan and will make them easier to remove.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will prevent the muffins from overflowing and will also allow them to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short amount of time: This will create a crispy outer crust and a moist, tender interior.

Conclusion:

Banana health nut muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their combination of oats, nuts, and bananas, these muffins are a great source of fiber, protein, and essential nutrients. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weekday breakfast or a healthy snack to satisfy your sweet tooth, banana health nut muffins are a great choice. They are also a great way to use up overripe bananas and reduce food waste.
