Description

These Low-Calorie Greek Yogurt Banana Muffins are a wholesome, delicious treat perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 eggs

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking and make clean-up easier.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed ripe bananas, Greek yogurt, honey, and eggs. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening and spices.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can make muffins tough.
  5. Fill Muffin Tin and Bake: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin cups. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the muffins are fully baked.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Make sure bananas are very ripe for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender and light.
  • Substitute honey with maple syrup or agave if desired for different sweetness flavors.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
