Ingredients

3 VERY overripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/3 cup mashed banana, make sure they are almost all the way brown)
⅓ cup honey
1 large egg, at room temperature
½ tablespoon vanilla extract
¼ cup olive oil
1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or milk of choice)
Dry ingredients
1 ¾ cup whole wheat pastry flour*
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
Mix-ins
½ cup chopped walnuts, plus ¼ cup chopped walnuts for sprinkling on top of muffins

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with liners and spray the inside of the liners to prevent sticking.
In a large bowl, mix together mashed bananas, honey, egg, vanilla, olive oil and milk until well combined. Add in whole wheat pastry flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt and use a wooden spoon to mix together until the batter is just combined. DO NOT overmix. Fold in ½ cup chopped walnuts.
Divide batter evenly into muffin liners, sprinkle each muffin with chopped walnuts. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs attached.
Cool muffins for 5 minutes then remove and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Muffins are best served warm and even better the next day. Makes 12 muffins.

Place the butter in a large bowl and melt in the microwave. Add the honey or maple syrup, mashed banana, milk and vanilla to the bowl. Whisk to combine. Whisk in the eggs. Sprinkle the cinnamon, baking soda and salt over the wet ingredients. Whisk until well combined. Add the flour to the bowl and stir with a large spoon or spatula until barely combined. Be careful to not over-mix.
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. I like to use a large scoop.
