Ingredients

Banana Muffins

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup mashed banana about 2-3 small-med bananas
  • ½ cup canola oil
  • ¾ cup buttermilk or 3/4 cup milk + 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Almond Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons softened butter
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 Tablespoon water
  • sliced almonds for topping

Instructions

  • Prep: Start by preheating the oven to 375 degrees F. Then, line a cupcake pan with paper or silicon liners.
  • Muffin batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients, both types of flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and the salt. Next, in a separate bowl, mix together the mashed banana, oil, buttermilk, egg and vanilla extract, until just combined.
  • Proceed to add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients and stir just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, stir just until no white flour is showing.
  • Bake: Continue to fill the muffin cups about 2/3's of the way full and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-17 minutes, until the muffin tops are rounded and golden brown. Let the muffins cool completely before topping with the glaze and sliced almonds.
  • Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powder sugar, butter, almond extract, and water. Then spoon about 1 teaspoon over the top of each muffin and sprinkle with sliced almonds. Serve immediately and enjoy!
