Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Whisk
  • Rubber spatula
  • Muffin Tin
  • Parchment liners

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups white whole wheat flour can substitute with all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 3 medium very ripe bananas
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter melted; can substitute with melted coconut oil
  • 0.33 cup honey
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your muffins bake evenly and rise beautifully.
  • If you're using muffin liners, line the muffin tin with them to avoid sticking. If not, lightly grease the muffin tin with butter or cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the white whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, freshly ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt.
  • In another bowl, mash the very ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
  • Add the melted unsalted butter, honey, egg, milk, and pure vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until everything is well combined and smooth.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a rubber spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
  • Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  • Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins; mix just until combined.
  • Use very ripe bananas for the best sweetness and flavor.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Try adding nuts, dried cranberries, chocolate chips, blueberries, or shredded coconut for seasonal variations.
  • To make vegan, substitute egg with a flax egg and use plant-based milk and coconut oil instead of butter.
