Easy Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- Mash the Bananas: In a large bowl, peel and mash the bananas until they are nice and smooth.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the honey, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Crack the egg into the mix and stir until everything is well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and optional cinnamon or nutmeg.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir just until the flour is incorporated, making sure not to overmix as this can make the muffins tough.
- Bake: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Place in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
