Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • ⅓ cup melted butter

  • 3 ripe bananas, or more to taste, mashed

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 pinch salt

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour

  • ¾ cup whole wheat flour

  • ½ cup coconut flakes

  • ½ cup chopped walnuts

  • ¼ cup unsweetened cacao nibs

  • ¼ cup flax seeds

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.

  2. Use a wooden spoon to mix butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl. Mix in sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Sprinkle baking soda and salt over the mixture and blend in. Add all-purpose and whole wheat flours; mix just until combined. Gently mix in coconut, walnuts, cacao nibs, and flax seeds.

  3. Spoon batter into the muffin tin.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.

Cook's Note:

Use any type of chopped nuts you like.
