Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 medium bananas
- 1 cup diced fresh rhubarb
Supporting Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup honey
- ⅓ cup neutral oil
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup plain yogurt
Seasoning and Leavening:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Warm your oven to 350°F and prepare a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick spray or liners.
- Grab a large mixing bowl and thoroughly combine 1 ½ cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon using a whisk.
- In a separate bowl, thoroughly mash 2 medium bananas until they create a smooth puree of about 1 cup.
- Add ⅓ cup honey, ⅓ cup oil, 1 egg, ¼ cup yogurt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla to the mashed bananas. Blend until completely integrated.
- Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring carefully to prevent overmixing.
- Carefully fold 1 cup diced rhubarb into the batter, ensuring even distribution.
- Distribute the batter evenly, filling each muffin cup approximately ¾ full.
- Slide the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick.
- Remove from oven and let muffins rest in the pan for 5 minutes.
- Transfer muffins to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Replace dairy yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt for a vegan version that keeps the muffins moist and tender.
- Chop rhubarb into small, uniform pieces so it distributes evenly and doesn’t sink to the bottom of the muffins.
- Use very ripe, spotted bananas for the deepest, sweetest banana flavor and maximum natural sweetness.
- Let muffins cool completely before storing in an airtight container to prevent condensation and soggy texture.
