All About Banana Bread Muffins
Ingredients You’ll Need
Dry Ingredients
- All-purpose flour: Feel free to use white whole wheat flour if you want to, that should work. We have not tested this recipe with gluten-free flour.
- Baking soda: Don’t skip the baking soda.
- Kosher salt: Salt helps balance out the sweetness of these banana bread muffins.
Wet Ingredients
- Light brown sugar: the brown sugar in the recipe gives these banana bread muffins a delicious and classic banana bread sweetness. Feel free to substitute it with coconut sugar.
- Unsalted butter: Make sure your butter is room temperature, so it can easily cream together.
- Vanilla extract: A touch of vanilla is all you need for these muffins.
- Mashed ripe bananas: You can really use any banana for these banana bread muffins, but very ripe bananas have the best flavor!
- Eggs: We recommend using large eggs, no other size!
- Maple syrup: The flavor that maple syrup gives to this recipe is amazing!
- Greek yogurt: Why Greek? It works with the baking soda to leave you with fluffy and moist banana bread muffins!
- Unsweetened almond milk: This batter can be a bit thick and the almond milks helps to thin it out a bit.
a few tips
Measure the mashed banana: Be sure to mash the bananas AND THEN measure them before adding them to the muffin batter. The size of banana you use will determine how much mashed banana you end up with.
Make them your own: These are classic banana bread muffins, but feel free to add chocolate chips, chopped nuts or berries to flavor to your liking.
Substitute bananas for applesauce when you’re in a pinch: Yes, people ask this question even when making banana bread muffins! Applesauce will work instead. Use 1 cup of applesauce in place of the 3 mashed bananas.
