Ingredients
- 2 cups white whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 overripe bananas
- ⅔ cup milk, any variety (I used almond)
- 1 5.3-oz container Greek yogurt (about ½ cup)
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup chia seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
- Add flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, and ground nutmeg to a bowl and whisk to combine.
- Add bananas, milk, yogurt, maple syrup, and eggs to a separate bowl and mix until light and creamy.
- Add dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet and mix until just combined.
- Stir in chia seeds.
- Divide muffin batter equally between the twelve muffin cups and bake for 18-21 minutes, or until the tops spring back when lightly pressed and a tester inserted into the tallest part of the muffin comes out clean. Let muffins cool in the tin for 10 minutes, and then remove to cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes
5.3 oz of Greek yogurt is roughly equivalent to ½ cup.
