Whole Grain Peanut Butter and Honey Banana Muffins

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well with nonstick cooking spray (this batch makes about 14-16 muffins - so you'll want a second muffin tin with a few cups lined or will need to bake a second batch).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, honey, coconut oil, egg, vanilla, peanut butter and milk. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Don't overmix! It's ok if it's a little lumpy and there are a few, wispy dry streaks here and there (no large clumps of flour, though).

Step 5

Scoop the batter into the muffin liners. I use my #20 cookie scoop (about 3 heaping tablespoons of batter) for each muffin cup. You'll have extra batter for a smaller second batch (or use a second muffin tin) unless you really want to pile the batter into the cups for 12 extra tall muffins.

Step 6

Bake for 17-18 minutes until the top springs back lightly to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean (increase the baking time as needed since ovens vary in temperature, just take care not to overbake).

Step 7

Remove the muffins from the tin and cool completely on a wire rack (bake any remaining batter into muffins). Once cool, store well-covered at room temperature for a couple days.
