Breakfast Banana Muffins
Muffins are basically cupcakes without frosting.
Plus, they’re usually super-sized and loaded with butter and lots of sugar.
But these delicious banana muffins are healthy and they taste like banana bread!
Whole-wheat flour adds extra fiber and nutrients that white flour lacks; ripe bananas and a touch of honey add natural sweetness in place of sugar.
And because bananas are good at keeping baked goods moist, this recipe uses only a scant amount of coconut oil.
