Ingredients

• 3 large Ripe bananas
• 2 Eggs
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
• 0.5 cup Chopped dried fruits (e.g., raisins, apricots, dates)
• 0.25 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.

Step 3

Whisk in the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Add the chopped walnuts and dried fruits to the batter, stirring gently to distribute them evenly.

Step 7

If the batter is too thick, stir in the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the batter reaches a slightly thick but pourable consistency.

Step 8

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

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 11

Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
