Ingredients
  

  • 3 large overripe bananas mashed until smooth for natural sweetness
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • ½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt adds moisture and protein
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil or melted coconut oil cooled
  • ½ cup light brown sugar for gentle sweetness
  • ¼ cup maple syrup pure adds subtle flavor
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract enhances flavor
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda leavening agent
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt balances flavors
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon warm spice
  • 1 ¾ cups white whole wheat flour or all-purpose whole wheat blend
  • 1 cup walnut halves toasted and roughly chopped

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and arrange a rack in the upper third. Line a 14-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth.
  3. Add the egg to the bananas and whisk until incorporated, then stir in the yogurt and oil.
  4. Whisk in the brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Sprinkle the baking soda, salt, and cinnamon over the batter, then stir gently to combine evenly.
  6. Fold in the flour carefully until barely combined, then fold in the toasted walnuts.
  7. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling nearly to the top.
  8. Bake for 22–24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the tops spring back lightly when touched.
