Main Ingredients
Ripe Bananas
Ripe bananas are the star ingredient in this recipe. Ideally, they should be brown-spotted or fully brown for maximum sweetness and flavor. You’ll need three medium-sized ripe bananas—around 1 ½ cups once mashed. The natural sugars in ripe bananas not only provide sweetness but also moisture to the muffins. They serve as a binding agent in place of eggs while adding potassium and fiber to your diet.
Whole Wheat Flour
Using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour enhances the nutritional profile of your muffins. Whole wheat flour contains more fiber and essential nutrients compared to its refined counterpart. You’ll need about 1 ½ cups for this recipe. This ingredient helps give structure to the muffins while keeping them hearty and satisfying.
Oats
Adding oats is a great way to boost the fiber content in your Healthy Banana Muffins. Use rolled oats for better texture; they absorb moisture without becoming mushy. You will require around ¾ cup of oats in this recipe. They add chewiness and help keep you full longer—making these muffins an excellent choice for breakfast.
