Whole Wheat Honey Banana Muffins

Recipe #115432 | 35 min | 20 min prep | add private note

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. I also use "white whole-wheat" flour, which is softer than that made with red wheat (but has the exact same nutritional value). Edited 10/18/06: Wow, I am glad so many people have enjoyed this! I made them myself recently, and I'd forgotten how good they really are. It is so nice to know that a lot of 'Zaar friends around the world have added this recipe to their repertoire.

Perfect banana muffins! Moist and oh so good! I used extra virgin coconut oil in place of olive/vegetable oil.

    These are tasty and healthy. One change I made — I substituted the oil with peanut butter and added 1 tsp vanilla extract. The added peanut butter not only tasted great, but added some protein.

    This was a very delicious muffin!!! I loved the hearty whole wheat. For our family, the sweetness was just right. Instead of using all oil, I used 1/2 olive oil and 1/2 unsweetened applesauce. I'm sure the applesauce added to the overall sweetness of the muffins. I halved the recipe, baked them 16 mins. and had a yield of 12 plump, moist muffins. Also, I would recommend toothpick testing these as they didn't "feel" done to the touch but were actually baked to perfection. Wonderful, no-guilt muffin!!! **Editing this review to say that I end up using 5 or 6 medium bananas to attain 2 cups mashed.** ~Jeff's Girl Way Out West

    These were DELICIOUS! I used unsweetened applesauce intstead of the oil-I was a bit nervous about that but they turned out great! I also used 1/4 cup honey & 1/4 cup Splenda. Baking time was right at 15 min. I've recently switched to whole wheat flour so THANK YOU so much for enabling me to keep eating delicious muffins without the guilt!
