Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
3 large overripe bananas (about 1 ¼ cups mashed)
⅓ cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
½ cup Greek yogurt (plain, 2% or full-fat preferred)
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup chopped walnuts, chocolate chips, or blueberries (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners. Lightly spray them if desired.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Add melted coconut oil, Greek yogurt, brown sugar, honey, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
4. Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Fold in any optional mix-ins like walnuts or chocolate chips.
6. Divide the batter evenly into muffin cups, filling about ¾ full.
7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
8. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use bananas that are heavily spotted or black for the sweetest and moistest results.
Don’t overmix the batter once the dry and wet ingredients are combined.
For extra flavor and texture, fold in chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even berries.
