Banana Nut Muffins Healthy Recipe

These delicious and healthy banana nut muffins are a delightful twist on classic banana bread! I've adapted this recipe for a healthier, smaller batch (perfect for 1-2 people!), using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, vegetable oil instead of butter, and significantly less sugar (honey adds natural sweetness!). Packed with whole wheat flour, almond meal, oats, flax seeds, and blueberries, these muffins are bursting with fiber, healthy fats, and flavor. Not overly sweet, they're the perfect guilt-free treat for breakfast or a snack. Easily doubled for a larger batch.

How to Make Banana Nut Muffins Healthy

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 6-7 cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, mash 2 ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth.
  3. Add 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt and 1/4 cup vegetable oil. Mix well.
  4. Whisk in 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1/4 cup almond meal, 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon flax seeds, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Gently fold in 1/2 cup chopped almonds and 1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen).
  8. Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
