{Healthier} Banana Muffins

These may not sound spectacular but any time I make these muffins they are lucky to make it to the very next day. My 4 year old can eat an entire patch by herself if I let her and even my disliking-banana husbands enjoys them with a little butter.

(Not Your Regular)
Banana Muffins

3 large ripe bananas
6 tablespoons - 1/2 a cup of sugar
(I usually stick with the 6 tablespoons but if you like sweeter things, go with the larger amount)
1 egg
1 and a 1/2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil
(or oil of your choice)
1/2 cup of apple sauce
Optional, vanilla
1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Combine wet ingredients (bananas, apple sauce, egg, oil, vanilla) and sugar into a medium-large bowl. Mashing bananas first.
In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt). I use my whisk to mix gently.
Add dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mixing to combine, taking care to not over mix. You can even sift the dry ingredients into the wet. If you over-mix the sides of your muffin will get rubbery.
Pour into your muffin tin.
Bake at 350 degrees for 18-25 minutes. (depending on your oven)

Banana Pumpkin Muffins

4 banans
3/4ish cup of pumpkin puree
3/4 cup of apple sauce
2 eggs
1/4 cup of white sugar
1/4 cup of brown sugar
(if you like for things to be sweeter, add in an extra 1/4-1/3 cup of sugar)
2.5 tablespoons of melted coconut oil
(or oil of your choice)
A generous splash of vanilla
3 cups of flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pumpkin spice

Combine wet ingredients into a large bowl (bananas, pumpkin puree, apple sauce, eggs, oil, vanilla) and sugar. Mashing bananas first.
Combine dry ingredients into a separate bowl (flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, pumpkin spice). I use my whisk to mix gently.
Add dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mixing to combine, taking care to not over mix. You can even sift the dry ingredients into the wet. If you over-mix the sides of your muffin will get rubbery.

Enjoy!
