Description

These whole grain banana muffins are naturally sweetened with honey and perfect for using up overripe bananas. A wholesome, homemade treat for breakfast or snacking!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups spelt flour
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons old-fashioned oats or quick oats, divided
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 medium bananas, mashed
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin, or line cups with paper liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together spelt flour, ½ cup of the oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, combine honey, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Use a wooden spoon or an electric mixer to combine the mashed bananas with the wet ingredients until well-blended.
  4. Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups ( they will be filled about ¾ of the way to the top.) Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of oats over the tops of the muffins. Dust with a little bit of coarse sugar (optional).
  6. Bake for 16-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean or nearly clean with just a few crumbs. Watch them closely as they bake and don’t allow the muffins to burn. Place on a cooling rack to cool.
