These Everyday Banana Muffins are a healthy, no-refined-sugar breakfast or snack option, offering natural sweetness from ripe bananas and honey, with a light and fluffy texture thanks to coconut oil.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins

Ingredients

3 Ripe Bananas

¼ cup Coconut Oil, melted

¼ cup Honey or Agave Syrup

1 Large Egg (room temperature)

1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

1 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour (or gluten-free flour blend)

1 teaspoon Baking Soda

½ teaspoon Baking Powder

½ teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with muffin liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until only small lumps remain.
  3. Add the melted coconut oil, honey (or agave syrup), egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about ⅔ full with the batter.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops bounce back when touched and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Gluten-Free Option: Use a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Vegan Option: Substitute the egg with a flax egg and use agave syrup instead of honey.
  • Add-ins: Stir in chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit like raisins for extra flavor.
  • Spices: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a spiced flavor.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
  • Freezing: Muffins freeze well for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
