Healthy Banana Muffin Recipe
I made this whole grain Banana Muffin Recipe to send with little diva for her snack day at pre K. They do have some sugar, but I cut it down as much as possible. They have whole wheat flour, oatmeal, flax, and banana.
One of my favorite tips is to get creative with your presentation. I love using mini-bundt pans – it makes the muffins look almost like little donuts. When it comes to little eaters I always find it helps to think outside the box!
Healthy Banana Muffin Recipe
Serves 24
Heat oven to 375°F
Banana Muffin Recipe Ingredients
DRY
4 cups whole wheat flour
2 cup quick-cooking oat
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
4 tablespoons flax mealWET
3 cups bananas, mashed (6-7 ripe)
4 eggs
1/2 cup of Agave Nectar
2/3 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions For the Banana Muffin Recipe
Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. When well mixed create a well for the liquid ingredients.
In a separate bowl, combine the mashed bananas, eggs, vanilla, agave and butter.
Add the wet mixture to the flour mixture, stirring just until the dry ingredients are moistened.
Spoon batter into greased muffin cups or I like to use mini bundt pans.
Using convection and the mini bundt the muffins were done in 12 minutes. Regular oven or muffin pans may take up to 18 minutes.
Check to see if muffins are done by inserting a toothpick into the muffin, when it comes out clean the muffins are ready.
Let cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes.

I love that you made these muffins so healthy. I am sure all the kids in pre-k were jealous of it! looks so good!
Okay, YUM! Thanks for this : )
This recipe looks alot like a recipe that I have used and of course tweaked quite a bit to make it my own. I use whole wheat white in addition to the whole wheat, molasses, organic sugar, maple syrup, not as much oat, and alot more spices. Good tasting stuff and good for ya’!
hi! i love these…i’ve made them twice so far! i veganized them…it was really easy, since 2 common egg replacers are already in the recipe: flax and bananas. however, i decided to keep the flax the same, but use bananas and soy yogurt to replace the egg. i thought the yogurt might be better in order to keep them moist.1 banana=1 egg1/4 cup soy yogurt=1 eggi also love nuts, so i decided to add nuts…so here’s my amended recipe, i indicated changes**IngredientsDRY**3 cups whole wheat flour**1 cup almond meal2 cup quick-cooking oat3/4 cup brown sugar2 teaspoon baking soda2 teaspoon baking powder1 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon nutmeg1 teaspoon cinnamon4 tablespoons flax meal**1 cup chopped walnutsWET**9 ripe bananas, mashed (original recipe calls for about 7, so i just made sure to add 2 more once i got 3 cups in order to replace 2 eggs)**1/2 cup vanilla soy yogurt (replaces the other 2 eggs)1/2 cup of Agave Nectar2/3 cup butter, melted1 teaspoon vanillaeverything else was the same! these are great, thanks so much!!
