Healthy Banana Muffins are soft, moist, and naturally sweetened with ripe bananas and honey or maple syrup. Made with whole wheat flour, Greek yogurt, and heart-healthy oil, these muffins are a nutritious choice for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup olive oil or melted coconut oil
  • Optional add-ins: 1/2 cup chopped nuts, dark chocolate chips, blueberries, or flaxseed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
  3. Whisk in eggs, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla, and oil until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in any optional add-ins like chocolate chips or nuts.
  7. Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  8. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and natural sweetness.Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.Top with oats or chopped nuts before baking for added crunch.Make mini muffins by reducing bake time to 10–12 minutes.These muffins freeze well for up to 2 months—great for meal prep.
