Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups whole wheat pastry flour Brings a nutty, slightly sweet flavor
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats Adds delightful chewiness
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Essential leavening agent
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda Helps create a light, airy structure
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Adds warm depth to the flavor
  • 1 pinch fine salt Enhances natural sweetness

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup ripe bananas, mashed Natural sweetness reduces the need for excess sugar
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt Provides tangy creaminess and a protein boost
  • 1 large egg Provides structure to the muffins
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey Adds extra sweetness
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil or melted coconut oil Adds moistness

Add-ins

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced Provides bursts of fruity goodness

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin pan or line it with paper liners, lightly spraying them with oil.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and fine salt until evenly combined.
  • In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth. Whisk in Greek yogurt, egg, maple syrup, oil, and vanilla until blended.
  • Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
  • Fold in the diced strawberries with gentle turns, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.

Baking

  • Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. If desired, sprinkle a few oats on top.
  • Bake for 18-21 minutes, until the tops spring back lightly and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only moist crumbs.
  • Cool the muffins in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

Serve warm or allow to cool completely before storing. Muffins can be paired with Greek yogurt or honey for added sweetness.
