Looking for the perfect after-school snack or on-the-go breakfast? Then these Honey Banana Muffins made with whole wheat flour are the muffins for you! Make a batch and throw them in the freezer for busy mornings.
My kids love these muffins because they taste amazing and I love them because they are made with healthy ingredients.
This is a fool-proof recipe that you will make over and over because they turn out perfect and delicious every time. These muffins are so light, fluffy and moist, no one will know that they are healthy.
So grab those overripe bananas you have sitting on your counter and let’s get started.
WHAT MAKES THESE MUFFINS HEALTHY?
These muffins are made with white whole wheat flour instead of bleached flour, honey instead of sugar, and Greek yogurt and applesauce instead of oil.
By making these simple substitutions, you are cutting back on calories, fat, and sugar . . . but not sacrificing flavor! They are still so delicious that no one will notice the difference.
WHY WHITE WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR?
White whole wheat flour is not a mixture of bleached white flour and whole wheat flour.
White whole wheat flour is made by grinding a soft white wheat (usually whole wheat flour comes from red wheat).
Both whole wheat flours have great health benefits, but whole wheat white flour has a lighter taste and texture, which is perfect for these muffins.
