Whole Grain Banana Mini-Muffins January 14, 2010

Yield: 24-27 mini-muffins or 12-15 muffins

These delightful little muffins are packed with whole grains and natural sweeteners – bananas and honey.  The original recipe was for standard-sized muffins. If you choose to go that route, bake them for about 25 minutes at 350 degrees. Enjoy! 

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  •  2 cups oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 mashed bananas
  • 1 cup plain non-fat yogurt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil or grapeseed oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts

Procedure:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the dry ingredients and set aside.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, mash the bananas and add the remaining ingredients. Mix to combine.
  4. Combine wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just blended. Add walnuts and stir to combine.
  5. Place in greased muffin tins or use paper liners.
  6. Bake mini-muffins for 11-13 minutes, or until inserted toothpick comes out clean. If you are making standard-sized muffins, bake for 25 minutes, or until inserted toothpick comes out clean.
