Healthy Whole Wheat Banana Muffins (Low Sugar And Oil Free) - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
Dry
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup oat bran
1/4 cup tbsps granulated sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet
2 large bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
1 egg
1/4 cup low-fat milk
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Optional Mix-ins
3/4 cup cranberries
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Preparation
-
Preheat oven to 350 deg F/180 deg Celsius.
Prep a muffin tray with muffin liners or grease well, and set aside.
In a medium bowl, sift in the whole wheat flour. Add in oat bran, sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk well and set aside.
In a large bowl, add in your bananas and mash them up if you have not already done so with your whisk or the back of a fork. Add in one egg and mix well. Add the milk, water, vanilla extract and lemon juice and beat the mixture well.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet, first using a whisk to incorporate the batter. Switch to a spatula or a wooden spoon and mix the batter. DO NOT OVERMIX.
At this point, you can fold in your add-ins. I added in cranberries and walnuts, but you could probably do any other combination of fruits/nuts.
Spoon the mixture into your greased/lined muffin tins. Bake in your preheated oven until a toothpick to the center comes out clean, or the tops are golden brown (but not burnt!), approximately 20 minutes.
Allow muffins to cool before serving.
