Ingredients
- 2 bananas very ripe, mashed
- ¼ cup butter melted
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup grated zucchini about one medium zucchini
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 and 3/4 cups white whole wheat flour
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425. Line a muffin tin with muffin liners or spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
- To grate the zucchini, cut off both ends and grate on a box grater. Gather the grated zucchini in a kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture. Set aside.
- In one bowl, mash the bananas. Add the butter, maple syrup, yogurt, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, mix well. Stir in zucchini and mix until combined.
- In another bowl whisk together the flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until just mixed. DO NOT over mix or your muffins will be tough. A few lumps is fine.
- Divide the batter between the 12 prepared muffin cups.
- Bake muffins at 425 degrees F for 5 minutes, then without opening the oven, reduce heat to 350 degrees F.
- Bake at 350 for another 20-22 more minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Baking them at the higher temperature at first helps them rise and gives a nice rounded top.
- Remove from oven and remove muffins from the muffin tin as soon as possible. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or individually wrap and freeze for up to one month.
Notes
- Add up to 1/4 cup more of maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter muffin.
- Oil can be subbed for butter if desired.
