The Bestest Banana Bread Muffins







I slightly modified a recipe from the Food52 Baking cookbook and made muffins instead of a banana bread loaf.  It's my all time favorite banana bread recipe.  Hope you enjoy!

Ingredients

4 VERY ripe bananas
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup of coconut sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup whole milk vanilla yogurt
1 cup chocolate chips (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line muffin pan or spray a non-stick muffin pan with cooking spray.
2. In a stand mixer, use the paddle attachment to mash the bananas.
3. Add butter, egg, vanilla and sugar to the mashed bananas and mix until combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients- flour, salt, baking soda and cinnamon.  Fold into banana mixture.
5. Fold in yogurt & (if using) chocolate chips.
6. Pour batter into prepared muffin tin and bake for 18-25 minutes. Tops will spring back when you press on them and a toothpick inserted will come out with a few crumbs.
7. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before turning out muffins on a cooling rack.

Cheers,

Katrina

PB-Banana-Oatmeal-CC-Flaxseed Muffins

I'm really bad at following recipes, but I also can't cook without them.  Today I found a banana oatmeal muffin recipe, but it called for 2 bananas and I only had 1. Then I found another oatmeal muffin recipe but it called for 5 cups of oats and I only had 2 so I worked with what I had and came up with this.  (And they were realllly good- though a little crumbly).




Peanut Butter-Banana-Oatmeal-Chocolate Chip-Flaxseed Muffins (adapted from this F52 recipe)
Makes about 24 muffins

2 C. rolled oats
1 C. whole wheat flour
2/3 C. light brown sugar
1/3 C. flaxseed meal
2 tsp baking soda
Scant 1 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 C. whole milk + 1 Tbs white vinegar (or  1 C. buttermilk)
1/2 Tbs. vanilla extract
1/4 C. coconut oil, melted and cooled
1/4 C. peanut butter
1 ripe banana, mashed
1 C. milk chocolate chips

  1. Preheat oven to 350° & line 2 muffin pans with cupcake liners.
  2. Combine dry ingredients (rolled oats + next 6 ingredients)
  3. Add egg, milk mixture, vanilla, oil, peanut butter and banana.  Stir until just combined.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips.
  5. Fill muffin cups about 3/4 full & place on the middle rack of oven. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, about 10-15 min.
  6. Remove from oven and allow to cool about 5 minutes.
  7. Share & enjoy!
