BANANA, AVOCADO, AND APPLE MUFFINS
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 small apple
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup milk dairy or plant-based
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with cooking spray.
- Peel and mash a ripe banana that is yellow but not too soft as well.
- Peel and mash an avocado that is ripe. You can know it is ripe if it is easy to press when you apply gentle pressure with a finger.
- Peel and grate an apple.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, mashed avocado, grated apple, eggs, honey or maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
- You can add a few oats or chopped nuts on top of each muffin for added texture and crunch.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- This recipe also makes for a great healthy lunch snack!
- Once cooled, serve the muffins and enjoy your healthy snack!
