Description

Moist and fluffy muffins infused with the natural sweetness of ripe bananas and Greek yogurt, perfect for breakfast or a nutritious snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan alternative)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: chocolate chips or nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth.
  3. Add Greek yogurt, honey, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  4. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Incorporate chocolate chips or nuts if using.
  7. Line a muffin tin with liners and fill each cup two-thirds full with batter.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness. These muffins can be stored at room temperature for 1-2 days, in the fridge for up to a week, or frozen for up to 3 months.
