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:

  • Use ripe bananas for a sweeter, more flavorful muffin.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this will make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only ⅔ full, as the muffins will rise during baking.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 2 months.
