All About Banana Bread Muffins
Dry Ingredients
- All-purpose flour: Feel free to use white whole wheat flour if you want to, that should work. We have not tested this recipe with gluten-free flour.
- Baking soda: Don’t skip the baking soda.
- Kosher salt: Salt helps balance out the sweetness of these banana bread muffins.
Wet Ingredients
- Light brown sugar: the brown sugar in the recipe gives these banana bread muffins a delicious and classic banana bread sweetness. Feel free to substitute it with coconut sugar.
- Unsalted butter: Make sure your butter is room temperature, so it can easily cream together.
- Vanilla extract: A touch of vanilla is all you need for these muffins.
- Mashed ripe bananas: You can really use any banana for these banana bread muffins, but very ripe bananas have the best flavor!
- Eggs: We recommend using large eggs, no other size!
- Maple syrup: The flavor that maple syrup gives to this recipe is amazing!
- Greek yogurt: Why Greek? It works with the baking soda to leave you with fluffy and moist banana bread muffins!
- Unsweetened almond milk: This batter can be a bit thick and the almond milks helps to thin it out a bit.

Charity of the Month
Each month we select a different charity to support. This month we’re supporting UNICEF, who provides humanitarian and developmental aid to children worldwide.
UNICEF believes that nurturing and caring for children are the cornerstones of human progress. UNICEF was created with this purpose in mind – to work with others to overcome the obstacles that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a child’s path.
We’ll be doubling the match from our giveaway winners to donate $400 to UNICEF.
