Soft and naturally sweet banana muffins, perfect for toddlers. Made with wholesome ingredients and no added refined sugar, these muffins are a healthy snack or breakfast option for little ones.
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup whole milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the unsweetened applesauce, whole milk, egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes.
Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
