Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/3 cup liquid coconut oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour (or whole wheat flour) for gluten free, use Bob's Red Mill GF All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Lightly coat 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, mash bananas. Add applesauce, oil, egg, and vanilla. Stir until just slightly lumpy.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined. Add chocolate chips, if using (or other add-ins.)
  • Fill cups 2/3 full with batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes.  Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.

Notes

For Gluten Free Healthy Banana Muffins, use a gluten free all purpose flour in place of the whole wheat flour.  I like Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free flour.
