Picky Kids Healthy Banana Muffins

This is a recipe I came up with to get my picky eater to eat something else besides cereal. We called them chocolate chip cupcakes and he eats them up.

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 mini muffin tins with cooking spray.

Step: 2

Mix bananas in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until smooth. Blend in yogurt, sugar, butter, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract.

Step: 3

Mix whole wheat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Pour into banana mixture; stir until moistened. Fold chocolate chips into the batter.

Step: 4

Scoop batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup 2/3 full.

Step: 5

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes.

The quality of the flour can make a real difference to your bread. Different makers do vary. Extra-strong or Canadian flours, which are bet higher in gluten, may give you a best rise than standard dough flours – especially if you’re make wholemeal dough , which doesn’t always rise as well as white bread.

To make this in a breadmaker , add all the menus to your breadmaker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

A bread first rising can be make in the fridge overnight . This slows down the time it takes to rise to double its size, giving it a deeper flavour. It’s also a great limit , as you can start it night before , then finish it off the next day.
