Healthy Banana Muffin Recipe

Sweet little Sunday! Sunday Mornings call for tasty treats and these muffins are de-lish! They are a great use for those sad brown bananas and are pretty quick to prep. Bonus – you can use only 1 bowl (less dishes to wash…yes please!). Most importantly, they are scrumptious!

When you allow bananas to turn brown and almost mushy, they become extra sweet, which makes them the perfect ingredient to use when trying to bake using less sugar. These muffins use agave nectar as a sugar substitution which adds a slightly “nutty” flavor. Slivered almonds the perfect complement if you are a nut lover.

Take to bananas out of the freezer about 15 minutes before you cook start prepping!

Preheat oven to 325 degrees 

2/3 cups coconut oil

1/2 cups agave nectar

2 eggs

1 1/2 cups mashed bananas

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 tablespoon chia seeds

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 cups slivered almonds or walnuts

Prepare your muffin tin by greasing all 12 muffin cups.

Melt coconut oil in the microwave until it’s fully liquid. Add agave and whisk, once combined, add 2 eggs and combine thoroughly. Add in bananas, baking soda, vanilla, chia seeds, salt and flour. Mix to combine and until dry ingredients are fully incorporated. Fold in nuts.

Divide batter evenly between 12 muffin cups.

Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let these babies cool and serve!

Enjoy the perfect little snack, quick breakfast or mid morning pick me up!
