How to Make Whole Wheat Banana Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour, ¾ cup all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add 1 large egg and ⅓ cup brown sugar; mix well.
  4. Stir in ⅓ cup melted unsalted butter and ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce.
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fill muffin cups about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
