Whole Wheat Banana Muffins Recipe

This whole wheat banana muffins recipe is the best healthy recipe with is low in sugar and loaded with oats and more bananas.

They are naturally flavored with honey and bananas, which makes your house smell wonderful when baking. These are made plain but feel free to add in other ingredients such as nuts, chocolate chips, and dried fruits. I recommend you do a double batch because it will be gone within minutes. These are great for breakfast and after-school snacks as well.

I love making muffins so you will find a lot of recipes. For more breakfast recipes check these sweet potato muffins and pumpkin muffins here. The other reason is that I have four little helpers at home who love muffins and I always love to have muffins at hand as an option for healthy snacks.
