Recipe #285740 | 30 min | 10 min prep | SERVES 48 , 4 dozen mini muffins (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: A.B. Hall

My toddler loves these bite size muffins. I love how good they are for him!

Posted on: Feb 11, 2008

Ingredients

  • cup white whole wheat flour (all the nutrition of whole wheat, not nearly the "bite." its taste is sweeter and more mild, due to )
  • 1/4 cup unbleached all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup oats (I use whole rolled oats, but I'm sure quick cooking oats would be fine)
  • 1/2 cup flax seed meal (ground flax seed, found in the "nutritional" isle at many grocers)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • teaspoon cinnamon
  • teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups banana, mashed (about 3 med-large bananas)
  • 1/3 cup vanilla yogurt (substitute with 1/3 cup applesauce for a vegan alternative)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 egg, beaten (or egg substitute for a vegan alternative)
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    2. 2
      Spray mini muffin tins with non-stick spray (do not use muffin liners, the dough sticks to them too much).
    3. 3
      Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
    4. 4
      In a smaller bowl, combine banana, yogurt, oil, vanilla, and egg, and stir well.
    5. 5
      Add wet ingredients to dry, stirring gently just until fully moistened.
    6. 6
      Fill each muffin tin with an ever-so-slightly heaping tablespoon of batter.
    7. 7
      Bake 10-12 minutes (11 is best in my oven).
    8. 8
      Alternatives: 8x8 square pan – bake 30-35 minutes until toothpick in the center comes out clean. Loaf pan – bake 50-55 minutes until toothpick in the center comes out clean. Cool thoroughly.
    9. 9

    Another tasty, healthy muffin recipe from Chef Hall. Made full size muffins as I don't have a mini muffin tin. Adopted for Spring 2008 PAC.

    Delicious. Great for kids. I'm going to try pumpkin in place of the banana next time.
