Equipment

Ingredients 

Dry

  • 1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour (210g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Wet

  • 1 cup mashed banana (240g) , 2-3 medium bananas
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup milk of choice, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (65g)
  • 3 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Add-ins

  • 3/4-1 cup chocolate chips, chopped nuts, dried fruits

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a nonstick 24 cup muffin pan or use a silicone muffin pan.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients.
  • Combine the dry and wet ingredients. Be careful not to over mix! Use a spatula (instead of a whisk) to gently stir together until all the flour is wet. The less you stir the mixture, the lighter and fluffier your muffins will be.
  • Stir in chocolate chips. Divide batter evenly into muffin pan and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the inserted toothpick in the center of the muffin comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Take any cold ingredients out of the refrigerator at least 15 minutes prior to baking. This will help the muffins rise more. This includes eggs, milk, and applesauce.
  • Use over-ripe bananas - Your muffins will turn out sweeter and moister.
  • After combining the dry and wet ingredients, do NOT over-mix the muffin batter. Mix lightly with a spatula until just combined. This will help prevent dense muffins.
  • Adjust sweetness - I recommend trying the recipe as is the first time around. If you find that you desire more sweetness, you can add some honey or maple syrup.
