Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 bananas ripe
  • 1/2 cup yogurt plain
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey or sub date syrup
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients, leaving out the nuts.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add bananas, and mash with a fork. Add the rest of the wet ingredients, and stir to combine, leaving the bananas a bit chunky.
  • Add the dry ingredients and the pecans to the wet ingredients, and stir to combine, without over mixing.
  • Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners, and then fill each liner with batter. This recipe will make 12 muffins if you fill them 3/4 of the way, or about 9-10 if you slightly overfill them like I do.
  • Bake muffins for 18-20 minutes, until the tops are slightly browned and they are fully cooked in the centers.
  • Allow to cool. Store at cool room temperature or in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Make it Gluten Free: Be sure to use Certified Gluten Free Oat Bran if necessary. Oats are naturally gluten free, but become contaminated during processing, unless you purchase ones that have been certified. Also purchase a high quality baking powder that states "gluten free" on the label.
  • Make it Ahead: These can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or frozen for up to 3 months if wrapped in air tight bags. Simply defrost and eat, or gently warm up to enjoy.
  • Make it Your Own: Instead of pecans, try walnuts, chocolate chips, or even 1/2 cup of blueberries. These are a great base to use for many different mix-ins!
