Description

Moist, wholesome Banana and Chia Muffins seeds for added fiber and nutrients. Perfect for breakfast on-the-go or a healthy snack.


Ingredients

Scale

2 ripe bananas, mashed

2 large eggs

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup rolled oats

1 tablespoon chia seeds

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.

2. In a large bowl, mix mashed bananas, eggs, honey, milk, coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

3. In another bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, oats, chia seeds, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until just combined—do not overmix.

5. Divide the batter evenly among 10–12 muffin cups.

6. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra texture, sprinkle rolled oats or chopped nuts on top before baking.

These muffins freeze well—wrap individually and store for up to 3 months.

Add mini chocolate chips or blueberries for a fun twist.
