What you need

1 ¼ cups (50g) whole-wheat flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
½ tsp. salt
2 ripe bananas, mashed
½ cup (120ml) Greek yoghurt

What you need to do

1. Heat the oven to 190C (375F). Line a 12 cup standard size muffin tin with liners.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
3. In a medium bowl, mix the bananas, yoghurt, egg, coconut sugar, coconut oil and honey until well combined.
4. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry and gently stir until smooth. Divide the batter evenly among the muffins cups. Side note, I use silicon muffin cups that can be reused over and over again!
5. Optional, sprinkle toppings of your choice on the batter.
6. Place the muffin tray in the oven and bake for 15 – 20 minutes, or until an inserted skewer/toothpick comes out clean.
7. Remove the tray from the oven and allow it to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then remove the muffins from the tin and place them on a wire cooling rack. Serve warm or cold.
