Healthy Banana Bread Muffins

A banana bread muffin so light, fluffy and tender, you'd never guess it's made with mostly whole-wheat flour. Using very ripe bananas keeps the muffins moist and minimizes the amount of sugar you add.

Ingreadient

  • 1 cup whole-wheat flour (see cook's note)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (see cook's note)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 5 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large egg whites, at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups mashed very ripe banana (about 3 large bananas)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, optional
