Whole Wheat Banana Muffin Recipe – NO white sugar, brown sugar, or white flour

 

 INGREDIENTS:

3 medium ripe bananas
2 eggs
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup wheat flour
1/2 cup honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS:

**Hint – grind down the rolled oats in a food processor for a finer consistency

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F

1. Mash bananas in a large mixing bowl  until lumps disappear.  Add eggs, one at a time. Mix well.  Add honey and mix until combined.

2. In a separate bowl, combine flour, oatmeal, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.

**Hint – I place the oatmeal in my food processor and pulse it to make it more like a powder consistency before I add it to the mixture.  This produces a muffin that is less like an oatmeal muffin, and more like a moist banana muffin.

3. On low speed, add dry mixture a little at a time to the banana mixture.  Once incorporated, add vanilla and mix just until combined.

Ready for the oven!

**Hint – When using wheat flour, it is important to not over-mix your batter.  Over mixing results in dense, thick dough.
4. Place in a lined muffin tin – fill each muffin cup 2/3rd’s full.
5. Bake at 325 degrees F for approximately 20-25 minutes.
6. Cool for a few minutes, then remove to finish cooling on a cooling/baker’s rack.

BANANA PUDDING CAKE

Ingredients
 
1 box yellow cake mix (& ingredients to make cake)
2 box (small) instant banana pudding
4 c milk
8 oz whipped topping
20 vanilla wafers, crushed
sliced bananas - use your own judgment

Directions

1. Prepare cake in 9 x 13 pan according to directions on box. When golden, remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes.
2. When just slightly cooled, use the handle end of a wooden spoon to poke holes into the baked cake. Don't be shy; make the holes big enough for the pudding to seep into and go deep enough with the spoon that you hit the bottom of the pan.
3. Next, prepare pudding mixture. Combine 4 cups of milk and pudding mix; whisk until fully combined and there are no lumps.
 4 Now it's time to fill those holes! Pour the pudding mixture ver the entire cake, taking care to get it into all your holes. Use the spoon to help really get it into the cake and spread evenly.
5 Refrigerate for about two hours... or until set. Top with whipped topping, crushed vanilla wafers and sliced banana!
