Whole Wheat Honey Banana Muffins
I decided to clean out my freezer of odds and ends and was searching for a good banana muffin recipe when I came upon this. I took a few liberties with the recipe when noted, but otherwise kept to the recipe. These were very yummy. 1 muffin = 4 points, but there are a lot of good-for-you ingredients in the recipe, so I just factored it into my plan for the day.
These muffins are delicious, smell good, look pretty, have a great texture, and best of all they are 100% healthy! No refined flour or sweeteners. We have a big family, so this recipe makes a lot of muffins, but it is easily halved for a smaller group. To make the muffins lower in fat, replace half of the oil with unsweetened applesauce. You can also use "white whole-wheat" flour, which is softer than that made with red wheat (but has the exact same nutritional value). 35 min | 20 min prep 24 muffins 3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour 2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons wheat germ 2/3 cup olive oil or vegetable oil 1 cup honey 4 eggs 2 cups mashed ripe bananas *(I just mashed up about 5 med. banana..so I didn't measure) 1/2 cup hot water Stir together dry ingredients. Beat oil and honey together; add eggs and beat well. Add bananas and beat to combine. Add dry ingredients to wet, alternating with hot water; mix well after each addition. (I tried to do the "muffin method" of mixing and noticed when I scooped the batter into the tins that it was really clumpy..had to scoop it back in the bowl and REALLY mix it. I don't know if it was b/c I used 100% freshly ground whole wheat, but just fwiw...) Spoon batter into 24 greased muffin cups; bake at 325 degrees for 15 minutes, or until muffins are golden brown and test done. Remove from oven and cool on rack. |

Re: Whole Wheat Honey Banana Muffins
a little hint about olive oil-use a light oo instead of extra virgin...extra virgin makes em a bit bitter imo

Re: Whole Wheat Honey Banana Muffins
I made these earlier this week and we all loved them. I'll be making more this weekend (because this batch only lasted a couple days ).
