Ingredients
  

For the Muffin Batter
  • 3 pieces Ripe Bananas heavily spotted or mostly brown for best flavor
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt replaces butter and oil for fewer calories
  • 1.5 cups Whole Wheat Flour increases fiber content
  • 1 large Egg or flax egg for vegan option
  • 0.25 cup Brown Sugar can reduce due to natural sweetness of bananas
  • 0.25 cup Maple Syrup honey is a great alternative
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda for rising
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt balances flavors
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon optional but recommended
  • 0.5 cup Walnuts can substitute with chocolate chips or omit

Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, peel and mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth.
  3. Whisk in the egg, then add Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and maple syrup, stirring gently.
  4. Sprinkle baking soda, salt, and cinnamon over the mixture, folding in until just combined.
  5. Fold in the whole wheat flour until no dry flour remains; batter should be thick and lumpy.
  6. Fold in chopped walnuts or chocolate chips, if using.
  7. Spoon batter into muffin tin, filling nearly to the top.
  8. Bake for 20-22 minutes until tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.
