Ingredients

  • 3 large ripe bananas about 12 oz (350 g)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 80 g (⅓ cup) nut butter I recommend almond butter or peanut butter
  • 45 g (3 tbsp) canola oil replace with preferred vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 230 g (2 cups) wholewheat flour replace with oat flour or all purpose flour
  • 80 g (⅓ cup) coconut sugar replace with brown sugar or granulated sweetener of choice
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ⅙ tsp sea salt
  • walnuts chopped, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a muffin mold with muffin liners. Make sure you grease the muffin liners to prevent the desserts from sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash three ripe bananas with a fork until completely smooth. Once mashed, add eggs, nut butter, canola oil, vanilla extract and ground cinnamon.
  3. Add coconut sugar and a pinch of salt, then stir the mixture with a whisk or fork until combined.
  4. Stir in the whole-wheat flour and the baking powder, then give it a good mix until smooth. If desired, fold through a handful of chopped walnuts, but do not overmix the batter.
  5. Fill ⅔ of each prepared muffin cup with batter and bake in hot oven for 20 to 30 minutes - mine took 23 minutes. Do not overbake, they are ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Le cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
