Muffins: Taste & Texture

  1. Super soft and moist

  3. Tastes like banana bread but better
  4. These have a light crumb that you’ll love

Banana muffins ingredients like wheat flour, leaveners, coconut oil, honey and egg.

Recipe Ingredients:

  1. Ripen Banana: You will need 3 of those (medium sized ones). If you are unsure, measure about 1 1/2 cups of mashed banana.
  2. Honey: Honey is the ultimate moist muffin maker here, but you can also use brown sugar instead! Muffins will still be beautifully moist.
  3. Coconut Oil: Any flavorless oil works here. Also melted butter works like a charm and makes muffin taste all buttery.
  4. Leaveners: 1 tsp of baking powder and 1 tsp of baking soda
  5. Flour: I used 100% whole wheat flour to make these. But you can use all purpose flour. Or half wheat and half all purpose flour too.
  6. Egg: 1 egg at room temp will give muffins their structure.

How to make Banana Muffins:


You only need one bowl to make this batter and no special equipments are needed to whip these up!

  • Mash bananas, add and whisk egg, honey, oil and vanilla.
  • I like to sift all dry ingredients over wet for light textured muffins.
  • Time for add ins of your choice!
  • Pour in liners and bake initially at 425 deg f for 5 mins and then at 350 deg F till done!

When they pass tooth pick test, muffins are done. Keep an eye on them, when close to the baking time. You don’t want to over bake them. No one likes dry muffins!

If you wish to store muffins for more than 2-3 days, refrigerate them.
