Ingredients

• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1.25 cups Granola
• 1 cup Mashed ripe banana
• 0.5 cups Honey
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 0.33 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 large Egg
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Optional granola (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Stir in the granola, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the mashed banana, honey, milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well blended.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps in the batter are okay.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle a small amount of additional granola on top of each muffin if desired for extra crunch.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 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 pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

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