I have adapted a recipe to make it healthier from www.tasteofhome.com for banana muffins (recipe- Basic Banana Muffins Recipe).
Ingredients 1 cup white flour 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 1/8 cup ground chia seeds or ground flaxseeds 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp. baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 medium ripe bananas 1 egg 1/3 cup vegetable oil 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients. In another bowl, mash the bananas. Add egg, oil and vanilla; mix well. Stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened. You can add chopped walnuts, raisins or even dark chocolate chips if you like. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups half full.
Bake at 375 degrees for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Yield: 1 dozen.
These muffins will be packed with fiber (due to the chia seeds and the whole wheat flour) and Omega 3's (chia seeds). Enjoy!
