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!

1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
3 large very ripe bananas
1/2 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon butter, cold, cubed
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons quick oats, uncooked (optional)

  • Add banana mixture to flour mixture and stir.
  • Divide mixture evenly into muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
