These banana muffins are a delightful treat, bursting with flavor and a perfect breakfast or snack choice!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (460g) bananas (about 4–6 bananas, mashed)
- ¼ cup (59ml) olive oil
- ¾ cup (170g) non fat plain greek yogurt
- ½ cup (168g) honey
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour
- 1½ tsp baking soda
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Mash 4-6 bananas, then measure out 2 cups using dry measuring cups, not liquid measuring cups. It’s important to measure the banana since the size of each banana can vary so much.
- In a mixing bowl combine the mashed bananas, olive oil, honey, greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir to combine with a spatula. For a sweeter muffin, increase the amount of honey to 3/4 cup.
- In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing by hand just until combined. The batter will be thick.
- Cover the bowl with a towel and allow the batter to rest for 15 minutes. During this time, preheat the oven to 425ºF.
- For bakery style muffin tops, line a 12 count muffin pan with 6 muffin liners, meaning you’ll only fill every other muffin well with batter. Because this batter is low in oil, making it stickier, I recommend that you spray the liners with nonstick cooking spray for easier removal.
- Fill the liners super full with batter, about 6-8 heaping tablespoons. Place one pan in the center of the oven and bake for 7 minutes at 425ºF, then keep the muffins in the oven, and turn the temperature down to 350ºF and bake for 13-16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing. Repeat with the remaining batter, bumping the temperature back up to 425ºF.
Notes
- Mash the bananas and measure out 460 grams if preferred.
- Ensure to use dry measuring cups for accurate banana measurement.
