Healthier Banana Muffins

These muffins are super easy to make and require only a few, healthier ingredients like coconut oil, brown sugar, whole spelt flour, and of course, bananas.

This recipe makes eight muffins, so feel free to scale the ingredients according to your liking.

In the end, I like to add some dark, chopped chocolate chunks, to give a nice contrast to the sweet banana. But you could easily add some chopped nuts as well if you prefer.







RECIPE:

Ingredients:
  • 2 ripe bananas (the more spots, the better :) )
  • 2 tbsp milk of choice
  • vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
  • 120g spelt flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 75g brown sugar
  • chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chunks
Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/ 356°F and line your muffin tin with muffin molds.
  2. Mash the bananas with a fork.
  3. Add the remaining wet ingredients: milk, vanilla, apple cider vinegar, and melted coconut oil, and stir until just combined.
  4. In a separate bow, whisk together flour, baking soda, and powder as well as the sugar.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones, stir a few times, then add the chopped chocolate and stir again until just combined.
  6. Fill the batter into the muffin molds and bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes.
  7. Let your muffins cool down and enjoy!

Do you want to learn how I create a short-form food video from start to finish?

I've been sharing my baking creations for more than five years on my Instagram Account @tamarasbakings . It all started with pictures but slowly, I transitioned into short-form videos, aka Reels. In the beginning, I made them very detailed and experimented with different settings in my home, various backdrops and camera angles, editing techniques, etc. but over time I created an effective way to film my Reels and now I am sharing multiple ones per month. Since I have the best followers in the world, I often get comments on how nice my editing is or how beautifully filmed my videos are. And I do pay close attention to the little details, like props and decor items, camera angles, and creating interest, so people genuinely want to watch my videos.

Cinnamon Rolls - perfect for fall baking

When I think of fall baking and the cozy season, I immediately think about cinnamon rolls, as well. There's just something so comforting about a soft, fluffy, and sweet cinnamon roll together with a cup of your fav fall drink. So today, I am sharing my favorite cinnamon recipe with you. I've always been using this exact recipe and I can confidently say that my whole family and friends love it! The yeast dough - things to keep in mind The most important thing about a good and fluffy cinnamon roll is, of course, the yeast dough- but how can you ensure it gets fluffy and perfect? First of all, I always use fresh yeast. In my opinion, this gives you the best results. In order to make sure the yeast can do its job properly, the temperature of the milk (and butter mixture) is key! If your mixture is too hot or too cold, you won't get a good yeast dough, it won't rise and your cinnamon rolls will be dry and flat. I always think of a hot bathtub when I heat my milk.
