Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cups Rolled oats
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
• 2 large Bananas, ripe and mashed
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cups Honey or maple syrup
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Coconut oil, melted and cooled
• 0.25 cups Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or almonds)
• 0.25 cups Dark chocolate chips or raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tin with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and sea salt. Set this dry mixture aside.

Step 3

In a separate mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add in the applesauce, honey (or maple syrup), egg, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Stir until all the wet ingredients are well combined.

Step 4

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts and dark chocolate chips or raisins for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate them for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
