Whole Wheat Cinnamon Banana Muffins

Banana Muffins

These Whole Wheat Cinnamon Banana Muffins are amazing. They’re really soft and bursting with cinnamon and banana flavor!

Whole wheat muffins can be a tough thing to bake. I try not to use whole wheat flour very often, because if you’re not careful, it can lead to a dense, craggy texture. But these muffins are soft, and the texture of the muffin is light. Actually, if you didn’t know it used whole wheat flour, you would never guess it in a million years!

Sneaky Healthy

This recipe is what I like to call “sneaky healthy.”

We’ve already talked about whole wheat flour. But the other sneaky thing about these banana muffins is that there’s no sugar added. Seriously! NO SUGAR ADDED! It’s honey instead of sugar. And honey is SO much better for you.

Some extra sweetness, of course, comes from using Chef Shamy Cinnamon Brown Sugar Honey Butter. It adds some great cinnamon flavor, as well a little extra honey flavor.

Enjoy!
