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!

They are a family-owned and operating business that uses 85% solar energy to produce their products. The variety of their products is amazing and I love the packaging design, too.

Wenn Sie auf der Suche nach einem perfekten, einfachen und schnellen Herbstrezept sind, das wie ein sonniger Herbsttag schmeckt, dann ist dieses Rezept genau das Richtige für Sie. Es besteht aus einem einfachen Muffinteig mit Pflaumen und Zartbitterschokolade und wird mit einer schnellen, butterfreien Zimt-Kaffee-Creme verfeinert.
