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.

Time 30m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups/150 grams whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (from about 2 large bananas)
1/2 cup/120 milliliters plain whole-milk yogurt
1 large egg
1/2 cup/110 grams packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup/60 milliliters neutral oil, such as grapeseed or canola
1/4 cup/60 milliliters honey
Old-fashioned oats, seeds, chopped nuts, grated coconut or cacao nibs, for sprinkling (optional)

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:

  • Use overripe bananas: Overripe bananas are not only sweeter, but they also add extra moisture to the muffins, making them incredibly moist and tender.
  • Mix the wet and dry ingredients separately: This will help to ensure that the muffins are evenly mixed and have a light and fluffy texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the muffins in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the muffins rise evenly and have a golden brown crust.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and running off the muffins.

Conclusion:

These whole grain banana muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are made with whole wheat flour, oats, and bananas, and they are naturally sweetened with honey. The muffins are also packed with nutrients, including fiber, potassium, and vitamin C. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy breakfast or a healthy snack, these muffins are sure to hit the spot.
