Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick cooking spray.
-
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add in the eggs, Greek yogurt, honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter as this can result in dense muffins.
-
If desired, fold in any optional mix-ins such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit for added texture and flavor.
-
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
-
Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
These Banana Flax Breakfast Muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
