Banana spice mini muffins

Banana spice mini muffins are a delicious and wholesome treat that perfectly blend the flavors of ripe bananas with aromatic spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. These mini muffins are not only easy to make but also offer a nutritious option for breakfast or a midday snack, thanks to the combination of whole-grain wheat flour and all-purpose flour.

Ingredients:

1 cup whole-grain wheat flour
120g
1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
120g
2 tsp baking soda
10g
1.50 tsp cinnamon
3.90g
1 tsp ground nutmeg
2.20g
1 tsp salt
6g
2 bananas
240g
1/2 cup maple syrup
160g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
2 egg whites
80g
1.50 tsp vanilla extract
6g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin pan or line it with mini muffin liners.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole-grain wheat flour, all-purpose white wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until fully combined.
3. Prepare Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the maple syrup, olive oil, egg whites, and vanilla extract and mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.
4. Combine Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
5. Fill Muffin Pan:
Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin pan, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
6. Bake:
Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
7. Cool:
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Serve:
Enjoy your banana spice mini muffins warm or at room temperature. They make a delightful snack or breakfast treat!

Tips:

- Use ripe bananas for a sweeter and more flavorful muffin.

- Do not overmix the batter; mix just until the ingredients are combined to avoid tough muffins.

- You can add a handful of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra texture and flavor.

- Line the muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well to prevent the muffins from sticking.

- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; if it comes out clean, the muffins are done.

- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your freshly baked banana spice mini muffins, which make for a delightful and healthy snack or breakfast option. The combination of bananas and spices will leave your taste buds craving for more. Store them in an airtight container to maintain their freshness for a few days.
