Muffin Pan
Paper baking cups
- 5 large, ripe bananas
- 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Add the bananas to a large mixing bowl, then use a potato masher or fork to mash them well.
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt, then whisk well.
Add the melted coconut oil, then immediately whisk well (if you delay the whisking after adding the coconut oil to the bowl then it may solidify which would make it harder to incorporate into the batter).
Add the whole wheat flour and baking powder, then whisk again to combine.
Divide the batter evenly into a 12 cup muffin pan lined with paper baking cups.
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out looking clean.
- Store these maple sweetened banana muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or freeze them for up to six months.
- Optional additions include 1/2 cup each of chocolate chips and/or chopped walnuts or pecans.
