Healthy Banana Muffins
Description
Healthy Banana Muffins combine mashed ripe bananas with oat flour, coconut sugar, and eggs to produce a soft, moist texture accented by the gentle warmth of ground cinnamon. The olive oil adds moisture without heaviness, creating a balanced crumb. Baking powder ensures a good rise while fine sea salt enhances the flavors subtly. The optional chopped walnuts on top contribute a crunchy texture that complements the tender crumb.
The muffins bake in paper liners and cool before serving, ideal for portion-controlled snacking or breakfast. They can be kept at room temperature or refrigerated to extend freshness. Freezing is also possible to keep leftovers longer.
This recipe's straightforward mixing method makes it accessible while delivering a familiar banana bread flavor in muffin form, well suited for those who prefer oat flour over wheat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup banana 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 1/4 cups oat flour
- 3 large egg
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup walnuts optional topping, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners. In a large bowl, combine the mashed banana, oat flour, eggs, coconut sugar, olive oil, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Mix well, until the batter looks relatively smooth.
- Use a 1/4 cup measure to pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin. Top each muffin with a few chopped walnuts, if desired. (Or omit for a nut-free recipe.) Bake the muffins at 350ºF for 20 to 22 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins feel firm in the center.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes, then they are ready to serve. You can store leftover muffins at room temperature for up to 2 days, or they will last longer in an airtight container in the fridge, for up to 1 week. You can also freeze leftover muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Nutrition estimates are for one muffin including walnuts if used and serve as a guideline, not an exact value.
