Banana Muffins

The easiest one bowl banana muffins are here for your enjoyment. Made with whole wheat flour and sweetened with maple syrup, these muffins are great for a healthy breakfast or snack. I’m seriously so excited to share these with you because they’re so yummy and so easy to put together. 

You’ll only need one bowl for these muffins, and you can whip them up in no time at all.

The whole family loves these for breakfast with greek yogurt and eggs. For quick breakfasts when we need to run out the door fast these muffins are perfect. I’ll pull a couple of these out of the freezer, pop them in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds, and add them to our plates with a hardboiled egg to get breakfast on the table fast.

These banana muffins freeze well and stay moist even after reheating.

Baking with whole wheat flour is pretty much standard for me, but I also wanted to try a muffin with a natural sweetener like maple syrup, so this muffin recipe was the perfect solution. Also, we were running out of sugar, but had plenty of maple syrup, so here we are.
