Banana Date Walnut Muffins

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Banana Date Walnut Muffins.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).

2. Step 2

   While it warms up, grab a 12-cup muffin pan and give it a light spray with no-stick cooking spray to ensure your muffins pop out easily later.

3. Step 3

   In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, white sugar, old-fashioned oats, baking powder, baking soda, and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.

4. Step 4

   Mix these dry ingredients together until they’re well blended, then set the bowl aside for now.

5. Step 5

   In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, plain low-fat yogurt, melted Becel® Salted Plant-Based Bricks, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

6. Step 6

   This is where the magic happens! Pour this delightful banana mixture into your bowl of dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined—be careful not to overmix.

7. Step 7

   Now, fold in the chopped walnuts and dates, adding a lovely texture and sweetness to your muffins.

   Next, spoon the batter into your prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about two-thirds full to give them room to rise.

9. Step 9

   Place the pan in your preheated oven and bake for around 20 minutes, or until the muffins turn a beautiful golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    Once they’re done, let the muffins cool in the pan for about 10 minutes—this is the perfect time to enjoy the delicious aroma wafting through your kitchen.
