Eggless Healthy Blueberry Banana Muffins Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/4 cup honey or pure maple syrup
- 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce or melted coconut oil
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or any plant-based alternative)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly with oil.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, mix the mashed bananas with honey (or maple syrup), applesauce (or melted coconut oil), milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Add Blueberries:
- Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
6. Fill Muffin Cups and Bake:
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
7. Cool and Serve:
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- Bananas: Make sure to use overripe bananas for the best sweetness and texture.
- Blueberries: If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent discoloring the batter.
- Storage: These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
