Whole Wheat Honey Banana Muffin (healthy version)


These muffins are my lunches / breakfast  for some days in the week.  Nutritious, healthy, light, moist and simply delicious treats for me.  I use minimum amount of honey and dark muscovado sugar here, relying on the sweetness from the overripe  bananas.




Recipe: Food.com
Ingredients
1 and 1/2 cup + 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chia seeds
3 tablespoons raisins
3 tablespoons chopped walnut
1 teaspoon cinnammon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
( add in choc chips if you like)


Wet ingredients
1/4 cup runny honey
1/4 cup dark muscovado sugar
1/4 cup olive oil
2 eggs
1 cup mashed banana ( overripe bananas)
1/4 cup hot water



Method
Stir together all the dry ingredients
Mix the oil, honey and dark muscovado sugar together, then add in eggs and mix well.
Add in bananas and well combine them.
Add dry ingredients to wet, alternating with hot water, mix well after each addition.
Spoon batter into 12 greased muffin cups / 6 large muffin cups.
Use nuts for toppings ( I used pecans)
Bake at preheated oven 170C/ 325F for 15 minutes, or until muffins are turning golden brown.
Insert a skewer in the centre, if it comes out clean, it is done.
