Delight in these moist and flavorful muffins, perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and lightly grease a muffin pan with cooking spray.
Using paper liners can make cleanup easier and muffins easier to remove.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help avoid lumps and ensure even mixing.
In another bowl, mash the bananas, then mix in the honey, eggs, applesauce, and olive oil until well combined.
Ensure the bananas are fully mashed for a smoother batter.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently. Add the warm water to achieve a smooth batter consistency.
Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Use an ice cream scoop for even portioning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even cooking.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on a wire rack prevents the muffins from becoming soggy.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your healthy and delicious treat!
Pair with a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful snack.
