  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground himalayan sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3 large overripe bananas (about 1 cup), mashed
  • 2 large free-range eggs, room temperature and beaten
  • 1/2 cup apple sauce
  • 1/2 cup maple sugar (substitute raw sugar, palm sugar or brown sugar), plus more to sprinkle on top

How To Make whole wheat banana muffins

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 375ºF and line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners; set aside.
  • Step 2
    In a large bowl, combine flours, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg; whisk until mixed and set aside.
  • Step 3
    In the bowl of a stand mixer, add mashed bananas, beaten eggs, apple sauce, maple sugar, buttermilk, oil and pure vanilla extract. With the paddle attachment, process on medium speed until blended.
  • Step 4
    Add half the dry ingredients and process on low speed for 30 seconds. Add the remaining half of the dry ingredients and walnuts; process until just combined, cleaning the sides and scraping the bottom of the bowl.
  • Step 5
    Evenly spoon the batter in the prepared muffin cups, filling each ¾ full. Sprinkle the tops with oats and maple sugar. Gently tap the pan to dislodge any trapped air bubbles.
  • Step 6
    Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 24 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs.
  • Step 7
    Remove from the heat and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 to 7 minutes before unmolding and transferring them on a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Step 8
