HOW TO MAKE HEALTHY BANANA BREAD MUFFINS:
Ingredients:
Muffins:
- 3-4 ripe bananas
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ¼ cup orange juice
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
Topping:
- ¼ cup oats
- ¼ chopped walnuts
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Instructions to make banana muffins with oats:
Preheat oven 350 degrees and prep your cupcake pans.
I love using my food processor but with this recipe you can use a mixer or even blend by hand. In a large bowl mash up those bananas, you can decide the consistency you like. I prefer to leave a little banana chunk in there but nice and smooth works great too. Add in you butter, sugar, beaten egg, oj and vanilla.
In a separate bowl mix up your dry ingredients; flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add your flour mix to the banana mixture and blend well.
In a small bowl mix all the topping ingredients; oatmeal, walnuts, brown sugar, and cinnamon. (This step is perfect for little hands to help!
Fill your prepared cupcake about ½-¾ of the way. Sprinkle topping on each muffin about 1 tbsp.
Bake for 1 hr. Cool on rack.
Enjoy anytime!
