Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Healthy Banana Muffins for Picky Kids.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give two mini muffin tins a light spritz of cooking spray for easy release.
Step 2
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mash ripe bananas until they reach a smooth consistency.
Step 3
To this, add yogurt, sugar, melted butter, applesauce, eggs, and a splash of vanilla extract, mixing until everything is beautifully blended.
Step 4
In a separate large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, fragrant cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
Step 5
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
Step 6
Fold in mini chocolate chips for that delightful burst of sweetness.
Step 7
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about two-thirds full to allow for rising.
Step 8
Place the tins in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, signaling that your mini muffins are perfectly baked.
Step 9
Enjoy the warm, inviting aroma as they cool, and savor each bite of this wholesome treat.
